HO GP9 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, NYC #7517 (ATHG82833)

HO GP9 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in New York Central livery, number 7517, is a detailed HO-scale model of EMD’s GP9 switcher built for realistic operation on modern model railroad layouts. It combines an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual speakers to deliver authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. Fully assembled and ready to run, the model features a full cab interior, see-through cab windows, and precise, prototype-inspired detailing for an authentic appearance on the layout.

For easy setup and flexible operation, this GP9 includes Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector and NMRA-compatible DCC functions with MU capability. It rides on Blomberg-B trucks with RP25 wheel contours, has a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and includes refined details like etched grills and scale handrails. Layout planning guidance calls for a minimum radius around 18 inches, with 22 inches or more recommended for smooth curves and sidings.
