HO GP15-1 Locomotive Conrail Operation Lifesaver #1662 (ATHG13240)

HO-scale GP15-1 Locomotive in Conrail Operation Lifesaver livery, road number 1662, is a ready-to-run model that captures Conrail's late-1970s four-axle diesel power used on yards and branch lines. The prototype featured Operation Lifesaver branding, Hyatt bearings, a small EMD plow, and front ditch lights on both ends for bidirectional operation—details faithfully reproduced in this HO rendition for Conrail-era layouts.

On the layout, the model is built for durability and realism: it uses DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectivity, with operating class lights and operating number boards for prototypical signaling. It rides on a heavy die-cast frame with RP25 wheels for smooth tracking, and includes fine-scale Celcon handrails, see-through cab windows with a full interior, and body-mounted knuckle couplers for authentic operation. Some sound-equipped versions add a DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers. Fully assembled and ready to run, it arrives in accurate Conrail Operation Lifesaver livery and is suitable for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended).
