Features :
  • The Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors was the last major builder to enter the road switcher market, introducing the GP7 (GP for General Purpose) in 1949. In 1954, the more powerful GP9 was unveiled with a 1750 horsepower prime-mover. This became the most successful of the early geeps, with sales of more than 3,800 locos in the U.S. and Canada. As the GP9s were bumped from major freight and passenger trains by newer locos, they began new careers as switchers. Many roads rebuilt them with a low nose to improve forward visibility and they continue to serve in switching, wayfreight and transfer assignments today.
  • This HO Scale model will be a real workhorse on your model railroad, with great features like a heavy diecast metal frame, powerful can motor with flywheel, eight-wheel electrical pick-up and drive, and a working headlight. Fully assembled and ready for service, they come prepainted in a variety of schemes.

Spotlight Review

 
"Very nice GP9M..."
rfritz
This is a good solid locomotive and is one of my backbone units. Walther TrainLine locomotive are a bit noisy because of gearing used in motor and trucks. But they are a solid performer and run with ample pulling power.

Runs good like the product already have several of these and a good price too

 
"Not quiet"
rjfroelich
Not for the exacting modeler but okay for a child's first train. Can be noisy.

 
"My best locomotives."
