Details:

Long since replaced on most class 1 mainlines by newer more powerful locomotives, old gp7and gp9had been reassigned to locals, road switchers, and yard jobs. This model is fully equipped with soundtrack tsunami sound. In 1982, chess system c o acquired a new model, the GP15T.

It differed from the rest of the contemporary greps by having roof mounted radiators and side intakes like the tunnel motor locomotives. It was similar to the last gp15 1 with a central air intake and an alternator, but differed by having a turbocharged 8 cylinder 645 engine and dynamic brakes. Buyers pays for shipping charge of 13.

To extend the life of these locomotives without buying new ones, many railroads had begun rebuilding programs. The gp15 series was introduced by edm in 1976 as an alternative to these rebuilding programs. There were two major external differences in the gp15 1 production. Apalachicola northern also bought GP15T, but their three did not have dynamic brakes and had car body air intakes.

I bought this model in 2011 and it has not been removed from the box except for the photos for this offer. This model is in the yn2 bright future or hockey stick paint scheme. USA buyers only please.

The gp15 1 was a 1,500 horsepower, 4 axle unit using a non turbocharged 12 cylinder 645 engine.
