1.6" EMD GP38 Locomotive

Designed with precision and affordability in mind, the 1.6" EMD GP38 Locomotive from JT Engineering provides an authentic, and fun large model-building experience. This locomotive is a great way for someone to build their own locomotive in their garage easily, and guess work free. Its easy construction with tab and slot assembly and robust 12 gauge steel structure ensures durability and ease of assembly, suitable for enthusiasts of all skill levels. 
 
This set of locomotive files is a blank slate for you to do all the detail work you like. If you want more detail work already done for you, and you have the tools and knowledge necessary to 3D print your detail parts check out my GP38 or the GP40 with included 3D print files for your detail parts!
 
Included with your purchase you will receive all your files needed to get started on your locomotive as well as a few guides to help walk you through the process. Since every locomotive is different, the GP38 files come with multiple configurations and mixes to choose from. Included are three different dynamic brake sections. With dynamic brakes Dash 2, with dynamic brakes Dash 3 and without dynamic brakes. I am confident with the files included, you can pick and choose exactly what features you would like and come up with a clean prototype. 
 
This locomotive is designed so the entire body can lift off the frame for servicing. Access can also be provided via removing the upper radiator plate, the dynamic section and cab top as shown in the photo above. Precision Steel Car parts are also used in this build. Latches, grab irons and stanchions may be purchased from PSC if you wish to use them.
