Lightning Bolt) Although officially classified as a medium road-switcher, the

SD38-2 has also been used in mainline and yard duty by railroads such as UP
and CNW when looking for extra tractive effort. These models are accurate to
the roadname/engine number with regards to fuel tank size, truck brake
cylinders and dynamic/non-dynamic brake hatch. They are equipped with Kato
knuckle couplers, LED directional headlight and 8-pin DCC socket. They are
also designed to be sound-friendly, allowing for the optional installation of
a 1-1/10" 28 mm diameter speaker for use with an onboard sound unit (speaker

with steel industry structures, ore cars and coil cars from other
manufacturers.
