The Walthers Trainline EMD GP9M diesel locomotive is a real workhorse on your HO Scale model railroad, making it perfect for expanding or upgrading any train set.

The Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors was the last major builder to enter the road switcher market, introducing the GP7 (GP for General Purpose) in 1949. In 1954, the more powerful GP9 was unveiled with a 1750 horsepower prime-mover, which became the most successful of the early geeps, with sales of more than 3,800 locos in the U.S. and Canada. As the GP9s were bumped from major freight and passenger trains by newer locos, they began new careers as switchers. Many roads rebuilt them with a low nose to improve forward visibility, and they continue to serve in switching, wayfreight and transfer assignments today.

This HO Scale model is a real workhorse on your model railroad, with great features like a heavy diecast metal frame, powerful can motor with flywheel, eight-wheel electrical pick-up and drive, and a working headlight. Fully assembled and ready for service, they come prepainted in a variety of schemes.

The model is ready to run, with dual flywheels and knuckle couplers, and it is a 1:87 HO scale model. The quality construction and features make it a hobby-grade product, securely packed for protection during shipping. However, users should handle the model with care when removing it from the package to avoid any potential breakage.
