HO GP40P-2 Locomotive SP 80's Version #7601 (ATHG64836)

HO GP40P-2 Locomotive in SP 80s Version (Road Number 7601) is an HO-scale replica of Southern Pacific’s GP40P-2 locomotives from the mid-1980s, designed for SP-era layouts and collectors who want an authentic representation of the era. The model captures the period’s look, including SP’s front-light package and rebuilt cab windows that were characteristic of units converted from commuter service to freight duty in the Bay Area.

Built for reliable operation and rich detail, this locomotive features a heavy die-cast frame and Genesis driveline for smooth, quiet pulling power, LED lighting with lit number boards, and a large 3600-gallon fuel tank paired with a large front plow and roof-mounted A/C and bell. The 80s SP front-end lighting includes Gyra light and red warning-light effects in DC/DCC, with the horn relocated to the long hood on some variants. It is DCC-ready via Quick Plug 21-pin NEM, and some versions offer onboard Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC. The model is well suited to weathering, and Legendary Liveries provide additional period-correct SP paint schemes to expand the roster; minimum radius is 18 inches for layout planning.
