Broadway Limited 8924 HO Scale Erie Lackawanna EMD GP35 Diesel 2559 (DCC/Sound)

8924 EMD GP35, EL 2559, Gray/Maroon/Yellow, Paragon4 Sound/DCC/DC, HO Scale

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. Additionally 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 this production run, we are modeling locomotives from eight railroads and a total of ten unique paint schemes, each with prototypically accurate road numbers. Each model is available in our newest Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC control system featuring Rolling Thunder, and equipped with integral GoPack capacitor packs.

Important: Road Number Accuracy (Rolling Stock)

Road Numbers For Rolling Stock: Always go by the listing title for the road number. Do not go by the picture for the road number. When a manufacturer makes a model with multiple road numbers, they often use the same stock photo for all part numbers/road numbers.

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE BASED ON THE PICTURE ONLY! Please read the title, item specifics, and description. Manufacturer photos may sometimes include items not included .
