HO GEN GP15-1 Locomotive WFRX #564 (ATHG-1892)

HO-scale Genesis GP15-1 Diesel Locomotive in WFRX road number 564 is a ready-to-run model from the Athearn Genesis line. It faithfully reproduces a four-axle EMD GP15-1, a compact diesel-electric switcher designed for yard work and light road service in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It provides an authentic, versatile locomotive for building realistic yard scenes or light-haul operations on a model railroad roster.

Built for reliable, smooth operation, the GP15-1 features a heavy die-cast frame, a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, and all-wheel drive for steady pulling power and quiet running. It rides on RP25 wheels, includes LED lighting, a full cab interior with see-through windows, and fine-scale Celcon handrails, with a DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM interface for easy decoder installation. Fully assembled and ready to run, the WFRX edition adds authentic period detailing such as a cab air conditioner, no class lights, a Nathan K3LA horn on a bracket, a distinctive Firecracker antenna, and front and rear ditch lights, delivering a convincing, road-numbered model for yard work or light road service on HO layouts. Minimum radius is 18 inches with 22 inches recommended for optimal operation.
