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, becoming the most successful of the early geeps, with sales of more than 3,800 locomotives in the U.S. and Canada. As the GP9s were replaced by newer locomotives on major freight and passenger trains, they found new careers as switchers. Many railroads 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 true workhorse on your model railroad, featuring 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, the locomotives come pre-painted in a variety of schemes, ready to run.
