HO EMD GP30 Locomotive DRGW 3015 Small Rio Grande (BLI9570)

HO-scale EMD GP30 Locomotive in Rio Grande livery (DRGW 3015) brings a faithful and imposing late-1960s road switcher to the layout. This Stealth Series model is DCC-ready with no sound out of the box and includes an 8-ohm speaker to simplify adding sound later. Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional, while other lights illuminate with track power.

Constructed with an ABS body and a die-cast chassis for durability and traction, it features all-wheel electrical pickup and prototypically accurate paint schemes and road numbers. Details such as handrails, grab irons, horn, bell, wipers, and etched grills are applied, and two metal Kadee-compatible couplers are included. It operates on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 rails and requires an 18-inch minimum radius. A precision drive delivers dependable pulling power and smooth slow-speed operation, making it well suited for both yard work and mainline runs.
