HO GEN GP15-1 Locomotive LTEX #1427 (ATHG-1882)

HO-scale GP15-1 diesel locomotive in LTEX #1427 livery from the Athearn Genesis line. This four-axle EMD yard and light-road switcher captures the look and function of the GP15-1 prototype built between 1976 and 1982. The LTEX edition applies ex-Conrail heritage in a red-and-gray paint scheme with road-number-specific detailing for #1427, making it a compelling addition to any era-accurate roster.

Designed for layout-ready operation, this GP15-1 is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology (21-pin NEM). It features a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, LED lighting, and fine-scale Celcon handrails, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for solid traction. Road-number-specific LTEX details for #1427 include Ex-Conrail heritage, a front and rear small EMD plow, lit number boards, and a Leslie 3-chime horn, plus front and rear ditch lights and other period-correct touches. It rides on RP25 wheel contours and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for reliable operation on common track work.
