HO GMD-1 Locomotive with DCC and Sound Waterloo Central 1012 (RPI10576)

The HO GMD-1 Locomotive is an impressive model equipped with DCC and sound, showcasing the Waterloo Central #1012 paint scheme. This locomotive is a part of the iconic Canadian National GMD-1 series, notable for its four-axle design and Flexicoil trucks, introduced between 1958 and 1959 for commuter and short-run passenger services. Over the years, these models have gained popularity among collectors and hobbyists, and the Waterloo Central 1012, a former CN 1437, has been repainted into CN's classic green scheme, being actively used for excursion and freight duties.

This model is highly detailed, featuring a heavy diecast frame designed for realism and durability, and is fitted with intricate piping and traction cables. It includes separate grab irons, accurate sounds for both original and rebuilt GMD-1 units, and working ditch lights, specifically for the 1400 series locomotives. The locomotive is powered by an ESU V5 DCC decoder, ensuring reliable and smooth operation on tracks with a minimum curve radius of 18 inches.
