['Justin Franz']
Railroad Model Craftsman
New features for this release include illuminated numberboards and class lights where applicable.
Athearn Trains · athearn.comOffered for the first time are Southern Pacific GP40-2s from the initial 1978 delivery in their as-delivered form ready to haul expedited intermodal trains across the Southwest and in pool service to Eastern roads.
Additional Genesis GP40-2s in this release include Florida East Coast (Veterans unit and late blue/white), Rio Grande (with ditch lights and Gyralites), CSX (Boxcar scheme), Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac (blue/gray), and Chessie/GM50 (gold).
1990s-era modelers now have the opportunity to add Southern Pacific GP38-2s with blanked Gyralite housings to their roster.
Like SP’s GP40-2s, SP GP38-2s also feature a longer “tall” walkway due to a walkway-mounted toolbox specified by the Southern Pacific and correctly captured on Athearn’s Genesis models.
