Broadway Limited 8221 HO EMD GP35, BNSF 2903, Swoosh Scheme, DCC Ready, (GP39-3)

Ubiquitous on American railroads, the EMD GP35 is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by EMD and subsequently General Motors Diesel in the mid 1960's.  Over 1300 of these locomotives were produced, and they were operated by virtually every major railroad in the United States.   Addtionally 26 units were built for Canadian railroads and another 57 units were built for Mexican railroads.  These freight locomotives were powered by EMD 567D3A 16-cylinder engines that generated 2500 horsepower. 

In our first production, we are modeling ten railroads with prototypically accurate road numbers and paint schemes.   In addition to the Paragon4 version, each model is available in our Stealth Series.  These are No-Sound / DCC-Ready models that operate on DC out of the box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice.  Out of the box, Front and rear lights are directional, and other lights are always ON with track power.  Additionally some lighting functions may be missing depending on selected aftermarket decoder the modeler installs.
