GP38’s were non turbo charged while the GP40’s were. Most Bachmann stuff isn’t worth more than $30. I don’t know whether these GP40’s and 38’s are new and improved or not, but to be safe and assured of getting a reliable loco I would stick to Atlas for straight GP38 or GP40 and P2K for GP38-2. If you want a GP40-2 then Athearn RTR is your best bet. That is unless Bachmann is the only brand that has your railroad’s markings.

Since the GP question has been answered, I’ll tell you about the B23s. $30 is a fairly good price, if you consider they were just raised to around $45 retail. I personally like Bachmann’s new stuff. They’re quiet, smooth, powerful, reliable, well detailed for the price and inexpensive. I’d highly recommend them.[:D][:D][:D]
