Check out this amazing Broadway Limited HO scale model - the BNSF #2008 GP20 in Heritage I scheme, featuring the Paragon 4 Sound & DCC system. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The EMD GP20, introduced in November 1959, was a four - axle road switcher with a turbocharged 567D2 engine, capable of 2000 horsepower. From 1959 to 1962, EMD made 260 of these locomotives, and many are still in use on short lines in the US. Broadway Limited Imports offers this model in eleven real - life paint schemes, one unpainted, and five fantasy ones. It comes with industry - leading features like the Paragon4 Sound & Control System with ROLLING THUNDER, a built - in capacitor pack for stable electrical pick - up, and a precision drive mechanism for heavy towing and smooth slow - speed operation. There are also tons of separately applied details and road - specific variations. The Paragon4 system operates in both DC and DCC, with improved DC speed control and a host of great features for a realistic and customizable experience.

Using your Broadway Limited HO scale BNSF #2008 GP20 is a breeze. First, make sure your track is clean and properly connected. The locomotive can operate on Code 70, 83, and 100 rail, with a minimum operating radius of 18 inches. You can use it in both DC and DCC modes. If you're using DC, you can use the DCMaster for DC sound. The Paragon4 system has a built - in capacitor pack that helps it navigate imperfect track, but it's automatically disabled on the program track for full compatibility with JMRI Decoder Pro. For light control, use the Pro Lighting Mode to control each light individually. The Switcher Mode is great for precise low - speed control. When it comes to sounds, you can record and play back sounds and movements, choose from different horns, and adjust the bell ringing interval. Just remember, since the picture might show a different road number, what you receive might look a bit different from the image. For maintenance, regularly clean the wheels and electrical pick - up points to ensure smooth operation. Also, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint and details.
