Title: GP 38 Question
Post by: wmwalker on June 14, 2014, 02:41:07 PM
As I am looking at the 2014 catalog and making sure I have all my pre-orders I noticed that the new GP38's just say dual headlights. It doesn't say directional LED lighting. I hope that is a miss print because the GP30 and RS3 do have that and its really a nice feature. If not its not a deal breaker for me I am still getting the CSX GP38 the detail and sound are great. Also got the southern 44 ton switcher on order as well. Thanks for any response on the lighting. :)

WMwalker,

It is not directional lighting, but I believe we are transitioning to LED lighting on this production run. Please note that we stated in the catalog that HO models were used for  illustrative purposes. The models will be the same style as the 2013 catalog with upgraded sound and a lock-out feature.

Regards,

Thanks for the information on the GP38. As I look at my 2013 catalog I see that everything is the same except the sound and lock out switch. So it most likely will have the stamped hand rails not the wire-formed ones. Well I am still in for one because of the road name for sure.  :)
