HO GP40-2L Locomotive QGRY #3016 (ATHG64842)

HO-scale GP40-2L locomotive in the Quebec-Gatineau (QGRY) scheme, numbered 3016, is a road-number-specific release designed for serious model railroading. The model captures prototype detail with per-number touches such as the Nathan K3L horn with air line, road-number fonts, antennas, and the standard rear plow used on 3016. Built on a Genesis-style drivetrain, it delivers smooth operation and a convincing daytime profile, while features like see-through cab windows and a full interior add to its realism. This release marks the first time the QGRY scheme has appeared in the Genesis line, bringing an era-appropriate, heavy-duty diesel to layouts and display shelves alike.

On the layout, the GP40-2L supports modern operations with LED lighting, lit number boards, and optional beacons as equipped, plus a detailed fuel tank and accessible handrails and steps. It is available in DCC-ready form with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and some versions include onboard DCC decoders with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in DCC mode. The model uses RP25-contoured wheels for broad compatibility with HO track, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and see-through cab windows that reinforce the interior detail. For modelers wanting a weathered look, the Primed for grime concept provides a ready starting point to add grime and rust, and Legendary Liveries offer unique paint schemes that broaden the roster.
