If I were to build another GP38 at this point, I’d start with the Atlas model and simply add details to it.
The CandO’s first 50 GP38’s were built by EMD in November and December of 1967.
This may be the way to go if you want one of the 4820-series units as the air filters are part of the model.

Locomotive Cab/Nose: The instructions listed above for the Phase I units applies here as well, except that EMD delivered these units with 88" low hoods, as opposed to the 81" hoods on the model.
As a result, you must replace the entire front section of the locomotive with new Cannon & Company parts as listed in the Phase I section, with the addition of C&C's 1105 88" EMD Short Hood Kit.
Radiator Grills: After 1976, EMD changed the design of their GP38-2 radiator grill filters from a single piece wire mesh affair to a rounded corrugated version, which is pictured to the right.

The fuel tank is short, matching the standard-size tank offered by EMD and is the proper cross-sectional shape and size.
These lights are used to illuminate the ties at night so the engine crew can tell whether the train is underway or if the locomotive wheels are slipping.
Remember, the speedometer on these (older) locomotives was driven by turning axles, not by radar as on newer units from EMD and GE.

Introduced by EMD in 1950, the SW8 offered railroads and industry a rugged and reliable unit for switching chores, replacing the last of steam or earlier diesel switchers still in service.
Despite the many changes in passenger service over the years, E8s were among the first diesels to serve Amtrak when operations began in 1971; others ended their days in commuter service a few years later.

 Life-Like EMD GP38-2
I've heard complaints that this loco isn't really a GP38 or a GP38-2, but sort of a cross between both.
The scheme is true to the prototype, except that the rear end of the hood should be yellow and the trucks silver...
Since Life-Like left off that sight glass, all you really have to do to convert this unit to a straight GP38 is use a sharp hobby knife to trim off the dampening strut on the right-hand journal boxes.

True, a medium-horsepower EMD GP38-2 may look almost identical to its high-horsepower sister GP60, but the GP38-2 turns out a mere 2000 h.p.
The first and most popular cowl units were EMD F45's and FP45's, built at the behest of Santa Fe and later for Milwaukee Road, Great Northern, and Burlington Northern.
The torch lit by EMD's FP45 and GE's U30CG was passed on to later passenger locomotive models: the four-motor F40PH and F59PH.

The GP38 can be recognized by two radiator fans located on top of the long hood and two small exhaust stacks.

In the 60s EMD identified the need for a medium-horsepower roadswitcher with no turbocharger for improved reliability.
With the rack settings on its 16-cylinder 645 prime mover set at a very conservative 2,000 horsepower, tried-and-true traction motors and other components, the GP38 was designed for reliability in all kinds of service.
The locomotive sold well, but the addition of easy-to-maintain modular electronics made its successor the GP38-2 the runaway favorite with 2,188 locos sold.

 A&R History
This was big time for the AandR, which still had to take a ribbing from Fort Bragg officials used to a bigger and more direct rail line and said so.
Interestingly, the AandR's motive power history in the diesel era is preserved intact and in operation today with GP7 205, GP18 300 and GP38 400 rotating through the shop, on the road job and in use on the Fayetteville switcher.
The newer Geeps, of course, are preferred for the road jobs, but it is not uncommon to see the eldest Geep shoving a heavy train out of Aberdeen to the top of the grade at Blues Wye, just as its steam counterparts did 50 years ago.
