Rapido HO Scale Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines EMD GP38 Locomotive PRSL #2007 - DC - RAP38054

Rapido HO Scale Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines EMD GP38 Locomotive PRSL #2007 - DC

Add distinctive Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines diesel power to your HO scale railroad with the Rapido Trains EMD GP38 locomotive PRSL #2007. Finished in the railroad's DGLE (Dark Green Locomotive Enamel) paint scheme, this model features the extended PRSL dual-control cab, detailed exterior components, and DC/Silent operation with a 21-pin DCC-ready interface for future decoder installation.

The EMD GP38 was introduced in 1966 as a 2,000-horsepower, four-axle diesel-electric locomotive powered by EMD's 16-cylinder 645E prime mover. The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines operated GP38 locomotives equipped with distinctive extended cabs and dual control stands, allowing operation in either direction with improved crew visibility. Rapido recreates this unusual configuration with railroad-specific details and an accurately modeled cab arrangement.

Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines GP38 #2007

Rapido's PRSL GP38 #2007 captures one of the more unusual variations of EMD's popular four-axle road switcher. The extended cab and dual-control arrangement distinguish these locomotives from standard GP38 models, making them particularly appealing to modelers of southern New Jersey railroading and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines.

This DC/Silent version is designed for conventional DC operation and provides a 21-pin interface for modelers who wish to install a DCC decoder. Its detailed cab, distinctive PRSL appearance and prototype-specific components make it an excellent addition to an HO scale diesel roster.
