HO GP15T Locomotive Rio Grande #5977 (ATHG13247)

HO-scale GP15T Locomotive in Rio Grande livery, number 5977, is a ready-to-run model that brings the turbocharged GP15T to HO layouts. This Denver & Rio Grande Western switcher is faithfully detailed for yard work and light road service, blending prototypical cues with reliable performance for everyday operation on a model railroad.

DRGW-specific features include operating class lights, a nose-mounted gyralight that flashes on DCC/Sound versions, a Nathan M-3 horn, Sinclair radio antenna, and Blomberg-M trucks. The model rides on a heavy die-cast frame with a Genesis driveline—featuring a five-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain—for smooth, quiet operation, plus all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25 wheel contours for dependable performance on HO track. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology using a 21-pin NEM connector, and sound-equipped versions include an onboard Tsunami2 decoder with dual speakers for realistic engine, horn, and bell sounds. Legendary Liveries offer iconic and alternate paint schemes, and the model ships fully assembled and ready to run, with a minimum turning radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended) for best results.
