HO GP7 Locomotive ATSF #2742 (ATHG82607)

HO GP7 Locomotive Santa Fe #2742 is a detailed HO-scale recreation of EMD’s classic switcher, designed to bring the Santa Fe era to life on your layout. The model captures period-specific cues such as the early Leslie dual Blatt-style horns, two Santa Fe lettering schemes, and the option to match different eras with spark arrestors. The #2742 variant features a repaint with yellow handrails and blue stanchions, full footboards, and a Can antenna with the stand on the cab’s left side to mirror its 1960s appearance. Built on a rugged die-cast frame with Blomberg-B trucks and see-through cab windows, it offers solid operation and authentic prototype cues for yard and mainline scenes.

Designed for flexible operation on DC or DCC layouts, this GP7 provides DCC-ready compatibility and LED lighting for realistic running. Sound-equipped versions feature onboard Tsunami2 audio with dual speakers for engine, horn, and bell effects; all functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode. The model includes a detailed fuel tank, scale handrails, and knuckle couplers, with an 18-inch minimum radius for smooth performance on most layouts. A Primed for grime variant gives modelers an authentic in-service starting point for weathering, capturing faded colors and extra grime right out of the box.
