  • Our take on the Conrail GP38 5pc Set

    This is a five-piece model train set built around a Conrail GP38 diesel, a road-switcher that pulled local freight and yard work. It adds four 3-inch freight cars from different railroads — a Santa Fe hopper, a Canadian National tank car, a Burlington Northern boxcar and a Conrail caboose — so the train reads like an interchange freight. It suits collectors and hobbyists who want a compact, display-ready consist rather than a full layout. The mixed-roadname lineup is the draw; rival starter sets usually stick to one railroad, so this one trades uniformity for variety.

    About the Conrail GP38 5pc Set

    This 5-piece wooden train set is built around a Conrail GP38 diesel engine. It comes with four 3-inch freight cars from different North American railroads, so it looks like an interchange freight train, where cars from several railroads ran together on the same route.

    The trains are handcrafted from wood and designed as durable, child-friendly toys. Each piece is inspired by the look of the real train. The paints and finishes are non-toxic. The set works with Brio, Thomas Wooden Railway and other major wooden train track systems.

    Questions and answers

    What is included in the set?
    A Conrail GP38 diesel engine, a Santa Fe hopper, a Canadian National tank car, a Burlington Northern boxcar and a Conrail caboose. The four freight cars are 3 inches each.
    Why do the cars carry different railroad names?
    It models an interchange freight, where cars from several railroads traveled together on the same route. That mix is the point of the set.

    Does it come with track or a power pack?

    The GP38 was a versatile road-switcher used for local freight, yard switching and industrial service. That makes it a natural leader for a short mixed freight.
