We're pleased to present to you our GP38-2 and GP40-2 Pro Edition sets with high-definition details and all the trimmings you've come to expect, including animated wipers, fans and photoreal 3-D bogies. Both our sets contain accurately scaled visual replicas with high resolution 1024x1024 textures, and each locomotive has its own custom cab views and appropriate options -- including things like extended range dynamic brake blisters and cab signal boxes.

Railroads represented include CSX, Norfolk Southern, and many others.

Attn Reskinners, Burlington Northern Cascade Green would be real cool. (hint)

Since I received a number of requests about our wide cab version that was previously announced, I'll say we're awaiting official permission for some logo usage, but it's still planned as a free upgrade for our Pro customers:

A GP38-2W (pretty rare) alpha is shown here in our house colors but we'll roll out the more common GP40-2Ws, too.

Besides the default loco, is there a regular GP38 available for MSTS? All I have seen so far are gp38-2s. The -2 models are great models, but. . . :) Every now and then someone mentions a gp38, but I think they're just leaving off the "-2." The GP38-2s have been very well done, but I'm curious about the gp38. (Not a request for you, Chip- -I just figured your post might draw folks who were interested in GP units, thus also drawing in folks who might be able to answer my question. :) ) Thanks!

Hi Clayton

According to the MR Diesel Loco Cyclopedia Vol 2 the main differences between the 38 and the dash 2 version are internal.

Externally the differences are minor - water-level sight glass on the right side of the long hood just below the front edge of the radiator, and most GP38-2s have bolted doors on the battery boxes instead of hinged doors. Most GP38-2s have boxes for paper air filters on the roof just behind the air intake. The radiator is slightly shorter and the fans are spaced closer on the GP38-2. Several detail differences are due to customer demands, like trucks etc.

That's almost a direct extract from the book, so don't somebody flame me!! ;-)

Cheers
Ken
