HO GP39-2 PH I Locomotive DH #7617 (ATHG-1977)

HO-scale GP39-2 Diesel Locomotive is a detailed, ready-to-run model capturing EMD’s mid-horsepower road switcher in faithful HO scale. It features a see-through cab with interior, lit number boards and LED headlights, etched grills, and fine Celcon handrails, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for realistic weight and traction. The Genesis driveline with a five-pole skew-wound motor delivers smooth, quiet operation with reliable current pickup, and the model rolls on RP25 wheels for consistent tracking. It’s DCC-ready with a plug-and-play 21-pin NEM interface and compatible with both DC and DCC layouts, making it easy to integrate into an existing fleet. The design reflects prototype details—from fuel tanks to MU hoses—and is built to handle HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius.

Road-number-specific variations provide authentic prototype accuracy, with differences in cab lighting, antennas, beacons, and other cosmetic details to match different locomotives. Sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC decoders with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual speakers, and NMRA-compatible functions, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC operation. With etched metal grills, scale handrails, detailed fuel tanks, and accurate truck and wheel configurations, this GP39-2 offers a convincing centerpiece for yards, mainlines, or dioramas and pairs well with a wide range of HO rolling stock to bring a period-appropriate fleet to life.
