HO GP15-1 Locomotive Missouri Pacific #1555 (ATHG13242)

Missouri Pacific GP15-1 Locomotive, HO scale, road number 1555, faithfully reproduces EMD's GP15-1 that MP used on branch lines, yards and light road work in the mid-1970s. This MP workhorse is captured with authentic detailing such as newly tooled MP-style solid handrails and pilots, dual spark arrestors, small EMD plows on both ends, and a single Firecracker antenna. For the 1555 road number, the model shows a blue patch with the MP logo on the cab, no front pilot stripe, and mixed bearings on Blomberg B trucks, delivering a faithful MP appearance.

Beyond the prototype touches, GP15-1 locomotives in this line offer practical modern detail: operating class lights (DCC-only) and operating number boards, along with DCC-ready Quick Plug 21-pin connectivity for a streamlined install. The model features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole motor for quiet, reliable operation, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, see-through cab windows with a full cab interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, a detailed fuel tank, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers on RP25-contour wheels. Sound-equipped variants include an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual speakers, and full DCC functions, with engine, horn, and bell sounds available in both DC and DCC modes. The design is ready to run on layouts with minimum 18" curves (22" recommended), and the model is securely packaged for safe storage.
