In 1973, they ordered a pair of GP38-2’s from EMD, #508 and 509. Painted in an attractive green and yellow scheme, they featured early foot boards on both ends, nose gyralight, cab beacon, 3200gal fuel tank, and non-dynamic brakes. The railroad was purchased by the large Genesee and Wyoming group in 2005. #508 would become EARY #2014 and #509 would become BAYL #2015.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-header\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASAB FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-delivered appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose gyralight (Effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-Dynamic Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab beacon (Effect in DCC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeslie 3-Chime horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly\/mid-body with chickenwire grilles and standard fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMD GP38-2 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row pb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Class Lights (Where equipped based on prototype)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp;

The most common replacement locomotive became the GP38-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged, 2000 horsepower engine in 1972. Unlike the GP38’s engine, which drove a generator to supply power to the traction motors, the GP38-2s prime mover drove an alternator which produced AC electrical current that was rectified to DC to power the four traction motors. Another major change for the GP38-2 was the introduction of the “dash 2” modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP38-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, helpers, snow fighting trains, and hump power. Many remain in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"modelFeatures\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies - Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eValue \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48395156652185,"sku":"ATHG-1832","price":267.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/ATHG-1832_A0_GYODYLFZ.jpg?v=1785421162","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-athg-1831-dcc-tsunami-2-sound-equipped-emd-gp38-2-locomotive-atlanta-and-st-andrews-bay-railroad-asab-508-copy","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
