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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rapido Trains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e RAP38054\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 038054\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO Scale (1:87)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRailroad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocomotive Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e EMD GP38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e PRSL #2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Scheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e PRSL DGLE (Dark Green Locomotive Enamel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCab Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extended PRSL Dual-Control Cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e DC (DCC Ready)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound:\u003c\/strong\u003e No Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21-Pin Decoder Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Minimum Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately reproduced PRSL extended dual-control cab, a first in plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior with prototype-appropriate control stand arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad-specific exterior detailing and decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight metal side handrails with plastic stanchions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied metal grab irons and handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed underframe with traction motor cables, air filters and separately applied components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad-specific battery box doors and fuel tank details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototype-appropriate stepwells with see-through etched steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating headlights and rear lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional operating lighting where appropriate for the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCannon and Company licensed radiator fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototype-specific dynamic brake hatches and air filter details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC\/Silent operation with 21-pin interface for DCC decoder installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines GP38 #2007\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapido's PRSL GP38 #2007 captures one of the more unusual variations of EMD's popular four-axle road switcher.
