Description
HO scale EMD GP35 locomotive, Southern Pacific 6629, “Bloody Nose,†is a detailed model designed for HO-layout operation. GP35 freight locomotives were a common sight across North American rails, and this faithful replica provides an authentic centerpiece for yard and mainline scenes.
As a Stealth Series model, it is DCC-ready out of the box with no sound, with front and rear lights that are directional and other lights that illuminate with track power. An 8-ohm speaker is installed to simplify adding a DCC/Sound decoder, and the Precision Drive mechanism delivers steady pulling power and smooth slow-speed operation. The ABS body rides on a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort, while prototypically accurate paint and numerous separately applied detailsâ€â€such as handrails, grab irons, horn, bell, wipers, and etched grillsâ€â€enhance realism. Two metal Kadee-compatible couplers are included, it runs on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 track, and a minimum 18-inch radius is recommended for reliable operation.
