Description: Bachmann 68813 HO GP35 Diesel Loco - Great Northern
The EMD GP35 was the first true Second Generation diesel in EMDs locomotive line. Although directly succeeding the GP30, with the first orders being delivered in 1963, the GP35 was the first in the range to follow the general exterior styling for all future EMD road switchers. A total of 1,334 were produced over a three-year period, with examples finding homes as far afield from each other as the Alaska Railroad and Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Mexico. These hard-working locomotives could usually be found on local freight duties or switching in yards, and examples can still be found in service today with railroads such as BNSF. The Bachmann EMD GP35 is DCC-equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control. It Features a TCS decoder programmed with authentic sounds, a Keep-Alive device for uninterrupted operation, and is ready-to-run for either analog layout or DCC operation.
