High-Hood GP38 Train Set

Ever since Electro-Motive Diesel introduced them in the year 1966, GP38 locomotives have become a staple in railroading in North America. For fifty-five years, these "general-purpose" diesel locomotives have served railroads across the nation, from hauling trains for the mighty Union Pacific, to switching cars on minor short-lines.

Today, GP38 locomotives are still serving North America, humbly switching and hauling freight from place to place, from the common hi-cube boxcar, to the occasional caboose.

I was really inspired by the geeps and SD45 locomotives that reside in Allen Park, Michigan, a place I visit quite often. Of course, I'm always excited by the sight of a train, but there's something charming about seeing a geep, especially one of the high-hooded varieties. In conclusion...yeah, I like trains.

This small train set is 1,173 pieces. It includes a red, white, and medium stone grey, Brick Line Railroad high-hood GP38 locomotive, a sand blue, North Brick & Western hi-cube box car, and a bright orange, Brick Line Railroad caboose. The locomotive and its two pieces of rolling-stock have lifting roofs that reveal compact, yet useable interior spaces.

The cupola of the caboose even has a small space for a crew member to sit in to carefully watch the boxcar's trucks! Speaking of crew members, this set includes a male engineer and a female conductor.

Lastly, as you probably guessed, this set is compatible with Powered Up. Swap some sections of the locomotive with a hub and a train motor, and the geep is ready to run for the Brick Line Railroad!
