HO EMD GP30 Locomotive B&O 6914 As-Delivered (BLI9565)

HO Scale EMD GP30 Locomotive – Baltimore & Ohio, No. 6914 (As-Delivered). This HO-scale model reproduces the EMD GP30 in its original B&O livery, capturing the distinctive hump and cab roof profile that defined the class and the raised long-hood layout that accommodated the modern equipment behind the cab. Designed for authentic operation on HO layouts, it’s a faithful centerpiece for prototypical B&O scenes or for display alongside era-accurate rolling stock.

The model is offered in a Stealth Series DCC-Ready configuration with no sound out of the box, and includes an 8-ohm speaker to simplify adding sound if desired. It features directional front and rear lighting and lights that illuminate with track power, a precision drive mechanism with all-wheel electrical pickup, and an ABS body mounted on a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort. Expect many separately applied details, metal Kadee-compatible couplers, and prototypically accurate paint schemes and road numbers. Compatibility with Code 70/83/100 track and a minimum operating radius of 18 inches makes it a capable, realistic performer for both yard and mainline operation, delivering steady pulling power and smooth slow-speed operation.
