HO GEN GP15-1 Locomotive Patriot Rail (ATHG-1884)

HO GP15-1 Locomotive in Patriot Rail livery is a detailed HO-scale model of General Motors' EMD GP15-1 diesel-electric locomotive. The GP15-1 was built between 1976 and 1982 as a compact four-axle switcher designed for yard work and light road duties; about 310 units were produced, and many remain in service today in yards and short-haul service. The Patriot Rail scheme offers a distinctive, workhorse appearance that complements a wide range of railroad scenes on an HO layout.

On the model, features include a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NM connector for easy digital setup, a full cab interior visible through see-through windows, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and a detailed fuel tank, with body-mounted knuckle couplers. The Genesis driveline, heavy die-cast frame, and all-wheel drive provide smooth, quiet operation and solid pulling power, while RP25 wheel contours ensure compatibility with most HO track. It arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended radius of 22 inches for best performance.
