It is powered by a 16-cylinder EMD 645F3B diesel engine, which can produce between 3,500 and 3,600 hp. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The most significant difference in the GP50 from earlier designs like the GP40 was upgraded components (like a turbocharger silencer and new type of blower housing) and increased horsepower. The locomotive also introduced a new \"anti-wheel-slip\" technology where the locomotive horsepower output was reduced if a wheel slip condition was introduced. It also included features already common on earlier models such as dynamic braking (a system for temporarily employing traction motors as generators and using the resulting electromotive force to slow the train), and an airtight hood that kept out dust, dirt and other particles from reaching internal components. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CNW FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Phase I Body\u003cbr\u003e Nose-mounted \"Gong\" Bell\u003cbr\u003e Winerization Hatch\u003cbr\u003e Small EMD plow\u003cbr\u003e Leslie 3-chime horn\u003cbr\u003e Sinclair antenna\u003cbr\u003e Western Cullen style beacon (Operational in DCC) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Originally purchased for fast TOFC freights, these units were used in many different applications before being absorbed into the UP merger. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e #3175\u003cbr\u003e Ex-Santa Fe #3822\u003cbr\u003e Phase I body\u003cbr\u003e Blue ditch lights\u003cbr\u003e Rear facing exhaust stack\u003cbr\u003e Yellow anti climbers\u003cbr\u003e Prime roof-mounted A\/C \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e #3200\u003cbr\u003e Ex-Santa Fe #3847\u003cbr\u003e Phase II body\u003cbr\u003e Yellow ditch lights\u003cbr\u003e Forward facing exhaust stack\u003cbr\u003e Blue anti climbers\u003cbr\u003e Vapor roof-mounted A\/C \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GP50 LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Full cab interior\u003cbr\u003e Wire grab irons\u003cbr\u003e Coupler cut levers\u003cbr\u003e See-through cab windows\u003cbr\u003e Flexible rubber trainline hose\u003cbr\u003e Flexible rubber MU hoses\u003cbr\u003e Etched see-through steps\u003cbr\u003e Walkway tread\u003cbr\u003e Lift rings\u003cbr\u003e Sander lines\u003cbr\u003e Windshield wipers\u003cbr\u003e McHenry scale knuckle couplers - Kadee compatible\u003cbr\u003e Accurately-painted and -printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003e Fully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003cbr\u003e DCC-ready features Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003cbr\u003e Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003e Fine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003e Detailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp; breather pipes\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-including lit number boards, ground lights, and marker lights (if applicable)\u003cbr\u003e Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003e Minimum radius: 18\" - Recommended radius: 22\" \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","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42187369709650,"sku":"ATH-G65929-PRE","price":271.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/5kYrM7_677e438d-a39a-4a7b-b1c0-be36941ebef2.png?v=1761318269","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-genesis-ho-g65929-gp50-chicago-and-north-western-5059-271-99","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
