If you’ve been a fan of our traditionally themed Halloween cars over the past 10 years, then this year's collection may just be our best ever. The wide selection of cars are specially decorated in Halloween colors and graphics. Many feature operating lights that really bring the cars to life and make outstanding additions to our ES44 Diesel and Caboose set or the streamlined 4-6-2 Crusader steam locomotive. With its spooky sounds and variable-intensity exhaust smoke, the Imperial series diesel and RailKing steam engine are the perfect options for pulling your Halloween car collection — no matter whether you’ve got every car in the series or are just starting out. Turn down the lights and run your own Halloween Special! FEATURES

Most significant was the replacement of the maze of hard-wired circuits, switches, interlocks, and relays — which had characterized first-generation diesels and had been the source of many of their service issues — with modular, solid-state electronics. Other improvements toughened the pistons, rings, and bearings of the 2000-horsepower, non-turbocharged model 645 prime mover. The result was an engine so hard working and dependable that it became as common on American railroads as the F-unit was in the 1950s and ‘60s. Trains magazine recognized this in 1982 by designating B&O GP38 #3802 (a pre-Dash-2 model) as the All American Diesel; the engine resides today in the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum, repainted in its 1982 Chessie System colors. Many GP38-2s have soldiered on for more than three decades and remain in service today on short lines and regional railroads. New for 2018, this accurately modeled GP38-2 joins our economically priced Ready2Rail lineup in four prototypical paint schemes. While Ready2Rail locomotives have fewer added-on details than standard M.T.H. motive power, Proto-Sound 3.0 versions feature the same versatile electronics and prototypical sounds found in every Proto-Sound 3.0 engine. In command mode, you can operate this second-generation stalwart with any other DCC- or M.T.H. DCS-equipped models. With the DCS system, you can create a lashup with just a few keystrokes, combining one or more GP38-2s with other Proto-Sound 3.0 first-, second-, or third-generation diesels — and run them all from a single throttle just like the prototype.
