HO EMD GP20 Locomotive BN/CBQ Unpainted (BLI7471)

An HO-scale EMD GP20 Locomotive in BN/CBQ configuration, offered in unpainted form to suit custom finishes or authentic BN/CB&Q roster scenes. This four-axle road switcher is a faithful representation of the late-1950s to early-1960s prototype, known for its turbocharged 567D2 engine and distinctive low hood with dynamic brakes, with the unpainted shell carrying the same level of detail as painted variants.

Equipped with Paragon4 Sound and Control featuring Rolling Thunder, it includes a built-in capacitor for steady electrical pickup and a dual‑mode decoder with back EMF for smooth operation on both DC and DCC layouts. The model uses a heavy 5-pole can motor with all‑wheel pickup, housed in an ABS plastic body with a die‑cast chassis, and features numerous separately applied details, prototypical lighting and sounds, plus metal Kadee‑compatible couplers. It runs on Code 70, 83, and 100 rails and requires as little as an 18-inch radius, making it a robust, ready-to-run platform for BN/CBQ-era layouts or for customizing the unpainted shell to your scene.
