Powered by a 16-cylinder, non-turbocharged diesel engine producing approximately 2,000 horsepower, the GP38-2 became a favorite for freight, local, switching, yard, helper, and utility assignments. Many examples remained active for decades thanks to their straightforward design and dependable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorfolk Southern was formed in 1982 and adopted its recognizable black locomotive paint scheme with bold white markings. NS #5013 represents a Southern Railway heritage GP38-2 and features the longer radiator arrangement associated with early-production examples, making it especially appropriate for transition-era Norfolk Southern operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/athearn-genesis-diesel-locomotives\"\u003eAthearn Genesis diesel locomotives\u003c\/a\u003e, explore the complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/athearn-genesis\"\u003eAthearn Genesis collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-railroading\"\u003eModel Railroading\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer \/ Brand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Athearn Genesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRailroad \/ Reporting Marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Norfolk Southern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GP38-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e ATHG-1400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad Number(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl \/ Electronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67961041092682,"sku":"ATHG-1400","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/ATHG-1420_A1_YV1BPTE4.jpg?v=1794453563","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/athg-1400","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
