HO GP9 Locomotive Phase II C&NW #1741 (ATHG82729)

HO GP9 Phase II Locomotive in C&NW livery, number 1741, is a detailed, ready-to-run HO-scale model built for enthusiasts who want an authentic representation of a classic GP9 switcher on their layouts.

Designed for authentic operation, it features a full cab interior and see-through cab windows, wire grab irons, etched radiator and fan grilles, scale handrails, and a heavy die-cast frame for traction. It rides on Blomberg-B trucks with bearing caps and RP25 wheel contours for compatibility with most HO track, while a 5-pole skew-wound motor provides smooth, quiet power. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and many versions come fully assembled and ready to run. Sound-equipped variants add onboard DCC decoding with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual cube speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, with NMRA-compatible functions and CV-based tuning for MU lashups. Minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
