Hello everyone, i have just been modelling in N scale for the past year or so, before that i modelled HO for 20 plus years. My question is this: Does anyone out there know if there are any manufacturers that offer the GP38-2 in the high short hood configuration such as Chessie, B&O, C&O, NS etc.? I have looked but have not had any luck as of yet. I know back in my HO modeling days there were several companie that offered the parts to “BASH” your own locomotive but as i stated, i have not been into modelling N scale long enough to know if anyone either offers the locomotive ready to run or if it would need to be kit bashed. Thanks for your time.
Check Atlas!
My friend Randy models in NORFOLK SOUTHERN in N scale.
.
He converted a couple dozen of locomotives to high hood 20-25 years ago using etched brass conversion kits. Then, brass models with high hoods came available.
.
Now, he is able to buy plastic models with the correct height hoods.

You may want to check Shapeways (online) to see if anyone is making these.

First none of the Chessie roads owned GP38-2s… Chessie favored the GP38 low hood.
Atlas makes the NS high hood GP38 and GP38-2.
