Broadway Limited Imports 10017 EMD GP35 Savannah & Atlanta #2715 As Appears Today Paragon4 Sound HO Scale

Product Overview

The Broadway Limited Imports EMD GP35 brings one of EMD's most recognizable transitional-era road diesels to HO scale with premium detailing, road-specific accuracy, and the advanced sound and control capabilities of the Paragon4 system. Savannah & Atlanta #2715 is modeled as the locomotive appears today, creating a distinctive release that combines classic diesel history with the visual character of a preserved locomotive.

Electro-Motive Division introduced the GP35 during the mid-1960s as a four-axle, general-purpose locomotive powered by the 16-cylinder EMD 567D3A prime mover. Rated at 2,500 horsepower, the GP35 represented an important step in the evolution of EMD's road-switcher lineup and helped bridge the gap between earlier first-generation diesels and the highly successful locomotive designs that followed.

More than 1,300 GP35 locomotives were produced for railroads across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Their flexible four-axle design made them suitable for manifest freight, local service, transfer assignments, and operation in mixed locomotive consists. The GP35's broad use and lengthy service history have made it a favorite among diesel-era railroad enthusiasts and modelers.

Savannah & Atlanta #2715 offers a particularly memorable interpretation of the GP35. Rather than representing the locomotive during its original revenue-service career, this model captures its present-day preserved appearance. That gives it a unique place on a model railroad or display shelf, celebrating both the locomotive's working history and the preservation efforts that allow classic diesel equipment to remain visible to new generations.

Its distinctive Savannah & Atlanta identity adds color and regional character to the familiar GP35 profile. The model is an excellent choice for collectors of preserved locomotives, Southeastern railroad equipment, museum-inspired displays, excursion scenes, or layouts that celebrate the continuing legacy of historic diesel power.

Broadway Limited Imports has equipped this model with newly tooled, road-specific components selected to reflect the prototype accurately. Combined with premium paint, separately applied details, independently controllable lighting, a precision drive mechanism, and Paragon4 sound, this GP35 is designed to look impressive on display and perform smoothly in regular layout service.
