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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany railroads chose to rebuild their GP7s and GP9s for continued service. Often times, it was cheaper to do this rather than purchasing brand-newb locomotives. Some railroads adopted a GP7R or GP7u designation to indicate a rebuilt unit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eATHEARN EMD GP7 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003cbr\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003cbr\u003e\"Nub ” style walkway tread\u003cbr\u003eLift rings\u003cbr\u003eWindshield wipers\u003cbr\u003eRoof access hatches on non-dynamic units per prototype\u003cbr\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003cbr\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes, and retention tanks\u003cbr\u003eBlomberg-B trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003cbr\u003eAAR Type-A trucks with Helical cut gears and traction motor detail\u003cbr\u003eAAR Type-B tucks with helical cut gears and traction motor details\u003cbr\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted or shown elsewhere\u003cbr\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interiorEM\u003cbr\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003eEtched metal radiator intake grilles and fan grilles\u003cbr\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003cbr\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003cbr\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003cbr\u003eMU stands\u003cbr\u003eWindshield wiper\u003cbr\u003eWire grab irons\u003cbr\u003eSander lines\u003cbr\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003cbr\u003eBody-mounted McHenry ® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee ® compatible\u003cbr\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug ™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003cbr\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003cbr\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003cbr\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003cbr\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003cbr\u003eMinimum radius: 18 ”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003cbr\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003cbr\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003cbr\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003cbr\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003cbr\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003cbr\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC modeITEM\u003cbr\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003cbr\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003cbr\u003eCV chart included in the box","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42187368955986,"sku":"ATH-G2326-PRE","price":28.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/ATHG-2326_A0_0R6X82DM.jpg?v=1784736304","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-genesis-ho-g2326-gp7l-locomotive-nashville-chattanooga-st-louis-701-dcc-sound-equipped-286-94","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
