Description

MD-25-963 “PRE-ORDER” EMD GP9 PHASE II WITH HIGH HOOD – STANDARD DC – CHESAPEAKE & OHIO, HO SCALE

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:

Standard high short hood

Based on as-built units produced from 1955 to 1957 (Phase II)

Scale width hood with correct contours

Dynamic brakes detail

Front and rear footboards or front plow and flat rear pilot as appropriate

See-through steps

Same powerful drive as WalthersProto(R) locos featuring:

Five-pole skew-wound motor

14 to 1 gear ratio

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

All-wheel drive and electrical pickup

Machined brass flywheel

Heavy die-cast metal chassis
