EMD's SD38 was a no-frills, blue-collar workhorse designed to dig in and move heavy loads. Most found their way into yard, transfer or heavy-haul service on the larger roads and quite a few have found a home in larger industrial settings as well. Lionel's SD38s come loaded with road-specific details including truck side frames, brake wheel, dynamic brakes, cab and pilot details as well as a variety of lighting options.
