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 our second production, we are modeling nine railroads with prototypically
accurate road numbers and paint schemes. Each model has our newest Paragon4
Sound/DC/DCC control system featuring Rolling Thunder, and equipped with
