Argos locomotive

I've seen this image of a locomotive online but I can't find it again. but I remember it is from a company called Argos. would anyone here know who the manufacturer is and maybe some basic specs? thanks!

Hey, I think Argos USA makes those locomotives, they're usually compact, built for industrial or switching work and many run on diesel-electric power with moderate horsepower

Argos uses rebuilt EMD GP38-3 locomotives, originally from the southern pacific. Theyre reliable units and mainly for hauling cement

like a real locomotive or a toy? I know there's a company called argos that makes train toys

It seems people mix up Argos, the train maker, with the toy people. Argos USA fixes up old EMD trains, like the GP38s, to be used in factories

Hey @saltycliffs, sounds like you’re talking about the real Argos locomotives, not the toy ones. They mostly rebuild EMD GP38s, usually for industrial use like hauling cement. If you want specs, they’re compact diesel-electrics with moderate horsepower, great for switching work. Did you want some more detailed numbers on them?
