Broadway Limited Imports 10025 EMD GP35 Christmas Holiday Scheme Paragon4 Sound HO Scale

Product Overview

The Broadway Limited Imports EMD GP35 brings one of EMD's most recognizable four-axle road diesels to HO scale in a colorful Christmas Holiday Scheme. Combining classic locomotive styling with festive seasonal graphics, this special release is designed to become a memorable centerpiece on a holiday layout, beneath the Christmas tree, or in a seasonal railroad display.

Electro-Motive Division introduced the GP35 during the mid-1960s as a versatile 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 development of EMD's road-switcher family and helped bridge the transition between earlier first-generation diesels and the successful second-generation models that followed.

More than 1,300 GP35 locomotives were produced for railroads throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Their compact four-axle design made them suitable for manifest freight, local service, transfer assignments, and operation in mixed locomotive consists. The GP35's familiar profile and broad railroad use have made it a long-standing favorite among diesel enthusiasts and model railroaders.

This Christmas edition transforms the practical road-switcher into a festive showpiece. Seasonal colors and holiday-themed decoration give the locomotive an unmistakable personality while retaining the classic proportions and operating capabilities of the GP35. It is an ideal choice for modelers who enjoy building a holiday train, creating an annual family tradition, or adding a playful specialty locomotive to their collection.

Unlike a purely decorative holiday model, this GP35 is equipped for serious layout operation. Broadway Limited's Paragon4 system provides immersive sound, responsive control, and individually controllable lighting, allowing the locomotive to serve as both a seasonal display piece and a fully capable operating model.

Premium paint, separately applied details, a precision drive mechanism, and a die-cast chassis complete the package. Whether leading a string of Christmas cars, circling the tree, or appearing as a festive surprise on a year-round layout, this GP35 brings together holiday charm and Broadway Limited performance.
