Walthers Trainline HO Scale Model EMD GP9M Standard DC United States Army #4628

This model is well into details that you feel it like holding a real locomotive and you are a giant! It’s heavy as it is metal. A good runner on my HORNBY HO scale tracks. Head lights are working and locomotive runs very smoothly. Updating again as I have bought two locomotives. For the price I have paid, it is really worthy!

For some reason this model I've had to return twice. It became quite noisy after about 20mins running at a low speed. I have others of the same GP9 and this version seems to be an issue for me. Both Santa Fe models here.

Excellent quality and value for money. Walthers always excellent.

Runs whisper quiet, has a great headlight. Very satisfied. I purchased all of these models.

Good loco

If you google a GP 15-1, Northfolk Southern chances are you will find pictures of this exact model and number. It’s not often that it is this easy to model the exact prototype. It’s a modeler’s dream to add after market details and weathering. It’s black plastic and not painted with the only paint being the Northfolk Southern’s logo. The body casings are extremely crisp because of this. The body is easily removed from the chassis with instructions and the hand rails appear to be easily removed with extreme care for weathering the body. The side trucks come off easily with care to weather and add detail. It includes K-D style couplers with the front and rear ends needing to be applied. The front is a snow plow. It ran smooth, strong and quiet on my test track. I’m old school modeler and don’t do DCC and this is just DC. I’ve never had a Walters Trainline engine and for the sale offered I thought I would give it a try. I couldn’t be happier with its quality and potential it presents. I’m looking forward to working on it making a good model great.
