HO GP7 Locomotive RDG #626 (ATHG82620)

Reading Company GP7 Locomotive, RDG #626, HO scale. This finely detailed model reproduces Reading's GP7 diesel road switcher in the era-appropriate dark green with yellow trim and a long-hood-forward configuration. It is designed for HO-scale layout use and captures RDG-specific cues such as L-shaped grabs on the short hood, cab rain gutters, and a Leslie S3L horn, with see-through cab windows and a full interior for added realism.

Built around a Genesis driveline on a heavy die-cast frame, this GP7 delivers smooth, quiet operation with all-wheel power and RP25 wheel contours for reliable track performance. It is DCC-ready with a Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector for easy decoder installation and uses body-mounted scale-knuckle couplers that are Kadee-compatible. LED lighting adds realism, and sound-equipped variants feature onboard DCC with Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds in both DC and DCC modes. Prototyped from drawings, measurements, and photos, the model emphasizes accuracy to RDG GP7 details and the locomotive’s long service life on the Reading roster.
