HO GP18 Locomotive CCT #1795 (ATHG-1351)

HO GP18 Locomotive CCT #1795 is a detailed HO-scale replica of EMD's GP18 switcher, built for serious model railroaders. It features a heavy die-cast frame, Blomberg-B trucks, see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched radiator and fan grilles, and fine-scale Celcon handrails for a realistic look. The Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain delivers smooth, quiet operation, while all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25 wheel contours ensure reliable running on common HO track. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector is available, and bi-directional LED lighting keeps headlights bright at any speed. The paint schemes are accurately applied and printed to prototype references.

For the CCT road-number variant, the model adds features like a NEW Non-Dynamic with roof access hatches, front and rear lighting effects (DC or DCC), Ex-Rock Island heritage, a 1700-gallon fuel tank with partial skirting, wheel bearings per the prototype, and a Nathan P5 horn. These road-name specific details, along with overall prototype-inspired detailing, make this GP18 a faithful and engaging addition to a modern HO layout or display collection.
