The Builder Behind America's Diesel Revolution

Electro-Motive Division, better known as EMD, played a defining role in replacing steam locomotives with diesel-electric power throughout North America. Its locomotive designs became the standard for freight railroads, passenger service, industrial railroads, and commuter operations, making EMD one of the most recognized names in railroad history.

Collectors searching for EMD model locomotives often focus on specific locomotive families rather than individual railroads, since EMD power appeared on hundreds of railroads across the United States, Canada, and beyond.

GP, SD, F, and E Series Favorites

Many of the hobby's most popular diesel locomotives originated at EMD. Models of the GP7, GP9, GP38-2, GP40-2, SD40-2, SD45, SD70ACe, F3, F7, E8, and E9 remain collector favorites thanks to their widespread use and lasting influence on railroading.

Whether you're modeling first-generation diesels or contemporary freight operations, EMD locomotives fit nearly every era and railroad.

EMD Models Across Every Scale

Because EMD locomotives served so many railroads, they have been produced in HO, N, O gauge, G scale, and other popular scales. From early cab units to six-axle freight locomotives, there is an enormous variety of prototypes available for collectors and layout builders.
