HO Genesis GP38-2 Locomotive UP '80s' #2165 (ATHG-1394)
HO-scale GP38-2 diesel locomotive in Union Pacific’s 1980s livery, road number 2165, is a detailed model built for authentic freight operation on HO layouts. It reproduces the GP38-2’s late-80s look with a heavy die-cast frame and Genesis-style drive, delivering solid pulling power and smooth, quiet operation on standard tracks. The model is compatible with an 18-inch minimum-radius curve and RP25-contour wheels for reliable tracking across typical layouts.
Inside, it features a full cab interior with see-through windows, LED lighting, and scale handrails, while body-mounted knuckle couplers and a rugged build contribute to prototypical handling. It’s DCC-ready with a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector, and road-number 2165 is represented with Ex-MP 2165 details—mid/late body with corrugated grills and Q-fans, North Little Rock lettering, angled paper air-filter box, side hood-mounted bell, late-style step wells, and a 3600-gallon fuel tank. For those choosing the sound option, versions with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 deliver onboard audio (engine, horn, and bell) via dual speakers, while remaining NMRA-compatible in DCC mode and offering straightforward CV adjustments with the included chart.
