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 is dressed for the season in Broadway Limited's Christmas holiday scheme as #2512, a natural lead for a holiday train under the tree. 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.
What track does it run on?
Code 70, Code 83 and Code 100 HO scale track.
Is this a real locomotive?
No. Broadway Limited calls this a fantasy paint scheme. It is a tribute design painted on an accurate EMD GP35 Low Nose model, not a copy of a unit that ran on a real railroad.
Is the road number the one shown in the photos?
The photos are Broadway Limited's official images. This item is Christmas holiday scheme #2512.
