InterMountain is currently accepting advanced reservations for an N scale EMD SD38-2 in the mandarin orange and white piant scheme: https://www.intermountain-railway.com/n/html/693307.htm Only numbers 296 & 297 were equipped with dynamic brakes. MSRP is $169.95 for a DC version, $219.95 for a DCC version and $279.95 for a DCC version with sound. Rich
I'll be amazed if they ever actually produce them. The HO scale versions were announced in 2017. They've waited so long that scaletrains had time to establish themselves as a brand and develop their own SD38-2 model and produce it for us.
Just thinking out loud here, and don't shoot me if I'm really wrong here... With a little kitbashing to the top of the long hood of the 296 and 297, we could finally have those SD40-2 locomotives in N scale we have craved since 1978? JFM
