HO GP9 Locomotive GN #682 (ATHG82274)

The HO GP9 Locomotive, GN #682, captures the essence of one of the iconic locomotives from the Great Northern Railway. This model showcases a unique winterization hatch with a horn mounted on top, and it's designed for long hood-forward operation, which is characteristic of its prototype. The model exhibits GN-style fuel tank skirts and includes snowplows on both ends, offering a realistic aesthetic.

In 1967, the Great Northern introduced a distinct paint scheme known as the Big Sky Blue, characterized by its blue, white, and dark grey-green colors. The GP9 models painted in this scheme remain a favorite among collectors and model train enthusiasts. This particular locomotive is fully assembled and ready-to-run, making it a perfect addition to any HO scale layout.

Among the features of the GP9 series, you will find a full cab interior, wire grab irons, flexible rubber hoses, and precision detailing that reflect the original design. The model is powered by an impressive Genesis driveline that includes a 5-pole motor and all-wheel drive for smooth and quiet operation. Additionally, the model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug technology, ensuring compatibility with modern control systems.
