HO GP9 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, SCL #1045 (ATHG82363)

The HO GP9 Locomotive with DCC & Sound, SCL #1045 is a finely detailed model that replicates the real-life locomotives used by the SCL railroad. Featuring intricate details such as extra grab irons on the front, wind deflectors, and a cab roof vent, the model is designed for authenticity. The GP9 locomotives, originally produced by EMD, were upgraded versions of the GP7, maintaining a similar appearance while offering enhanced performance with 1,750 horsepower. This model showcases the unique 'split-image' paint scheme used during the merger of ACL and SAL, with SCL lettering applied to existing SAL units.

Equipped with dual cube speakers, the locomotive delivers optimal sound quality through the onboard DCC decoder featuring SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound. It operates seamlessly in both DC and DCC modes, providing full DCC functions for an immersive experience. The heavy die-cast frame enhances traction, making it capable of pulling significant loads. Accurately scaled from prototype resources, it includes features such as flexible rubber trainline hoses, see-through cab windows, and various details replicating real locomotives.
