Our take on the Burlington Northern GP38 Diesel Engine

A handcrafted wooden toy engine modeled on Burlington Northern's GP38 road-switcher diesels, the versatile locomotives BN used for local freight, yard work and branch lines from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest. It runs on Brio, Thomas Wooden Railway and other major wooden track systems, and uses non-toxic paints and finishes. It suits young railfans and parents who want a durable wooden engine with a real prototype behind it. Compared with mass-market wooden trains, it trades licensed characters and plastic detail for handmade construction and prototype-inspired looks, and sizes vary because each piece is made by hand.
