The basic design followed most four axle road diesel switchers for the time. Borrowing improvements from the GP38-2 and GP40-2 designs, this mid-horsepower road switcher utilized a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine for its prime mover. With 4 fewer cylinders, the smaller engine provided a distinctive long hood on the phase II and phase III bodies, where the clean room\/engine compartment doors were set back from the cab further than predecessor locomotives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sensitivity to fuel economy in the 1970s justified the GP39-2 in the locomotive market. It also laid the ground work for EMD to start exploring locomotive designs that utilize engines with larger piston displacement yet possess fewer cylinders. This approach has become the foundation to modern locomotive technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e D\u0026amp;H FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Phase 1 body with chickenwire grilles\u003cbr\u003e Illuminated number boards and class lights\u003cbr\u003e Blomberg B trucks with Hyatt bearings\u003cbr\u003e Leslie 3-chime horn\u003cbr\u003e Small EMD front plow\u003cbr\u003e Large Sinclair antenna\u003cbr\u003e Cab roof rain gutters \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The D\u0026amp;H received all 20 of the Reading's GP39-2's when Conrail was formed in 1976. They continued to operate in patched green and yellow paint for several years, but many were subsequently repainted into D\u0026amp;H's attractive solid blue and yellow scheme. When mixed in with other EMD and ALCO models, they added a splash of variety to passing trains. We are offering 3 different versions of the blue scheme to add to your fleet! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e #7404\u003cbr\u003e Solid blue repaint with silver trucks and yellow plow \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #7405\u003cbr\u003e Blue repaint with solid yellow nose and plow \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #7419\u003cbr\u003e Blue repaint with striped yellow ends and yellow plow \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GP39-2 LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Coupler cut levers\u003cbr\u003e Trainline and MU hoses\u003cbr\u003e Drop steps unless noted\u003cbr\u003e MU stands\u003cbr\u003e Windshield wipers\u003cbr\u003e Lift rings\u003cbr\u003e Wire grab irons\u003cbr\u003e Walkway tread\u003cbr\u003e Sanding lines\u003cbr\u003e Lit number boards\u003cbr\u003e Lit class lights, if equipped\u003cbr\u003e Lit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003cbr\u003e Bell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003cbr\u003e Detailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, and breather pipes\u003cbr\u003e Blomberg-B or Blomberg-M trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003cbr\u003e Speed recorder unless noted\u003cbr\u003e See-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003cbr\u003e Fine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003e Etched metal fan grilles\u003cbr\u003e Air tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003cbr\u003e Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers - Kadee compatible\u003cbr\u003e Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003e Accurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003e Genesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003cbr\u003e Wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003cbr\u003e LED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003cbr\u003e Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003e Minimum radius: 18\"\u003cbr\u003e DCC-ready features Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PRIMED FOR GRIME MODELS FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003e Duplicated look and feel of \"In Service\" equipment\u003cbr\u003e Faded base colors matched to the prototype\u003cbr\u003e Perfect starting point for adding grime and rust \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003e Onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003cbr\u003e Dual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003cbr\u003e Sound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003cbr\u003e Full DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003e Engine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003cbr\u003e All functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003e Precision slow speed control\u003cbr\u003e Program a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003cbr\u003e Many functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003cbr\u003e CV chart included in the box","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183314440274,"sku":"ATH-G66359","price":295.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/ATHG66359__28431.jpg?v=1760744179","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-g66359-gp39-2-delaware-and-hudson-7405","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
