The basic design followed most diesel switchers with the addition of a short hood instead of an end-cab. The hoods were also full height to better accommodate the diesel engine and mechanical and electrical components. In 1954 EMD upgraded the GP7 to become the 1,750 horsepower GP9. Externally, the first GP9s were virtually unchanged from the last GP7s. Later versions would include different louver arrangements and the last ones would come without the frame skirting. The GP9 was available with all of the fuel tank, steam generator, and dynamic brake options as the GP7, including torpedo tube air tanks mounted on the roof. Many railroads chose to rebuild their GP7s and GP9s for continued service. Often times, it was cheaper to do this rather than purchasing brand-new locomotives. \n\u003ch2\u003eSP FEATURES:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate inertial and radiator grille position on long hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly coupler cut bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow MU stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull skirts above fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU catch boxes with footboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSP Light package front and rear, effect with DCC+Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-operational red emergency lights at each end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear early Pyle headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathan P3 horn - not depicted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNub style walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal radiator intake grilles and fan grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes, and retention tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg-B trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSander lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plugª plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain for trouble free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBidirectional constant LED lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42719431229653,"sku":"ATHG78182","price":178.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/2349\/4332\/products\/ATHG78180-450_83041f38-bb98-4326-b3c5-ab9b940a261c.jpg?v=1652565699","url":"https:\/\/www.eugenetoyandhobby.com\/products\/ho-gp9-sp-3662","provider":"Eugene Toy \u0026 Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
