EMD GP35 Low Nose - Standard DC - Stealth -- Conrail #2277 (blue, white)

This HO Scale Stealth Series EMD GP35 from Broadway Limited is based on the ubiquitous EMD GP35 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by EMD and subsequently General Motors Diesel in the mid 1960s. 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. Since the 1990s, many have been rebuilt for continued use and many feature small exterior variations.
 
This Stealth Series no-sound/DCC-ready model operates 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. This model includes a 21-pin decoder socket so you can add your favorite DCC or sound decoder when you're ready. It also features a built-in speaker so you won't have to add one later. Other features include a heavy die cast chassis and select roadname-specific details. Its wheels profiled to operate on Code 70 and larger rail and curves of 18" radius but larger curves are recommended. The EMD GP35 is one of many Broadway Limited HO Scale Paragon4 locomotives.
