HO GP9 Locomotive NYC #7517 (ATHG82733)

HO GP9 Locomotive in New York Central livery, numbered 7517, is a detailed, ready-to-run HO-scale model designed for authentic model railroad layouts and operating sessions. Recreating the classic GP9 profile, it features a full cab interior and see-through cab windows for a lifelike, crew-at-work look on yards and mainlines.

Designed for serious hobbyists, it blends prototype-level detailing with modern operation. The GP9 features a Genesis driveline with a five-pole motor, heavy die-cast frame, and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet pulling power, plus etched radiator grilles, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and accurate fuel-tank detailing for authentic appearance. It rides on RP25 wheels for reliable track performance and uses constant LED lighting for consistent brightness. DCC-ready with Quick Plug and a 21-pin NEM connector, sound-equipped variants include a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 decoder with dual cube speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds; it runs on both DC and DCC with NMRA-compliant CV control. Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best operation.
