Description
HO EMD GP20 Locomotive in Green, Cream, and Yellow with Paragon 4 sound is a detailed HO-scale model of the classic EMD GP20 road switcher. It recreates the turbocharged 567D2 engine’s power and the distinctive low-short hood, offering authentic switching and road-service capability. With Paragon 4 sound and control featuring Rolling Thunder, a built-in capacitor pack for steady electrical pickup, and a dual‑mode decoder with back-EMF for smooth slow-speed operation on both DC and DCC layouts, this model delivers realistic performance straight out of the box.
Constructed with an ABS plastic body on a die-cast chassis and driven by a 5-pole can motor with skew-wound armature, it provides reliable pulling power and smooth operation at scale speeds. Road-specific detailingâ€â€Âincluding handrails, grab irons, fans, sunshades, and antennasâ€â€Âpairs with prototypically accurate paint schemes and road numbers (ARZC 2004). Metal Kadee-compatible couplers and prototypical lighting enhance realism, while its HO-compatible design covers Code 70, 83, and 100 rails and a minimum 18-inch radius, making it a versatile centerpiece for serious model layouts.
