RAFFLE – EMD GP9 Phase II with High Hood – Standard DC — Chesapeake & Ohio #5951, HO Scale + C&O Railway Series #3, C&O GP7 & GP9 Diesel Locomotives book by Thomas W. Dixon Jr.

Price range: $3.00 through $15.00

RAFFLE – EMD GP9 Phase II with High Hood – Standard DC — Chesapeake & Ohio #5951, HO Scale + C&O Railway Series #3, C&O GP7 & GP9 Diesel Locomotives book by Thomas W. Dixon Jr. 

Winner will be drawn on October 9th, 2026

The WalthersMainline Phase II High-Hood GP9 is a must-have model for your first-generation diesel roster! Outwardly similar to the earlier GP7, and sharing the same boxy, no frills body with its high, short hood, minor production changes in the number and placement of louvers on locomotives built from 1955 to 1957 resulted in what modelers and railfans refer to as “phase two” GP9s. Like it’s prototypes, many still going strong today, the WalthersMainline HO Scale Phase II High Hood GP9 is the perfect power for any assignment and features:

One time run of these road numbers, order now – limited quantity available!

  • Standard high short hood
  • Based on as-built units produced from 1955 to 1957 (Phase II)
  • Limited edition – one time run of these roadnumbers!
  • Scale width hood with correct contours

  • Helical-cut gears for quiet operation and easy multiple unit operation

C&O Railway Series #3, C&O GP7 & GP9 Diesel Locomotives book by Thomas W. Dixon Jr. 

This book is an overview history of the General Motors Electro-Motive Division GP7 and GP9 model diesel locomotives on the C&O. These locomotives were the backbone of C&O’s first diesel fleet and were the main replacements for its freight-service steam power. Many were later used by B&O after its affiliation, and some survived into late Chessie System and early CSX eras. All were gone by the mid-1980s. They were the quintessential C&O freight diesel of the 1950s and 1960s. This book covers their history and presents a color album showing them at work across the system.
