HO GEN GP15AC Locomotive Missouri Pacific #1722 (ATHG-1889)

HO-scale GP15AC Locomotive in Missouri Pacific livery, road number 1722. This model comes from the Athearn Genesis GP15 series and reproduces a compact four-axle diesel-electric switcher designed for yard work and light road service. Ready to run on HO layouts, it provides an authentic Missouri Pacific locomotive with detailed shaping, accurate proportions, and robust performance for adding prototypical switching power to a layout.

Inside, the model features a full cab interior and see-through cab windows, with a detailed fuel tank and scale-grade handrails, windshields, and wipers to enhance realism. The Genesis drivetrain delivers smooth, quiet operation with a five-pole motor, machined flywheels, and a multi-link drive, while all-wheel drive and electrical pickup help maintain steady power on typical HO track. DCC-ready with Quick Plug, a 21-pin NEM connector, LED lighting, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers on RP25 wheels round out the package for straightforward installation and reliable operation. Built on a heavy die-cast frame, it’s well-suited for yard switching and light road duties, and performs best on HO layouts with a minimum radius around 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
