The GP35 was EMD's answer to a horsepower race it was losing. Built from 1963, it put 2,500 hp on four axles and turned up on nearly every Class 1 railroad in North America, and many were rebuilt and kept working for decades. Broadway Limited models the common low-nose version. This one wears Union Pacific's 1980s Armour Yellow and gray with large lettering as #747. It is the Stealth version: no sound, runs on DC as supplied, with a speaker installed and a 21-pin socket ready for a decoder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it have sound?
No. This is the Stealth version, so it runs silent on DC. The speaker is already installed, so adding a 21-pin sound decoder later is a plug-in job.
Can I run it on DCC?
Yes, once you plug a 21-pin DCC decoder into the socket. As supplied it runs on DC.
What is the minimum radius?
18 inch radius. Broader curves will look and run better.
