We are delighted to introduce the first ever accurate N scale model of a GMDD FP9A locomotive. The prototype was built by General Motors Diesel Division in London, Ontario from 1954 to 1958 for CN and CP.
Prototype modellers will tell you that you don’t get an FP9A just by adding a louver and moving a port hole on an FP7, as has been done before. There are numerous subtle differences between an FP7 and an FP9A, including different fuel tank location and underbody arrangement, different rooftop details, different rear details, etc. Our FP9A is the Real Deal.
Model Features
- First ever accurate N scale FP9A made in plastic
- Unique CN & CP variations
- Super-detailed, including roof-mounted cooling coils, separate air hoses, and separate grab irons and handrails
- Working headlight, rear headlight and number boards
- Working rooftop Gyralite and ditch lights (where appropriate)
- CP models include dynamic brakes, vertical slit grilles, frame-mounted water tank, and etched metal icicle breakers
- CN versions include both C/D class (36” radiator fans) and E class (48” radiator fans) versions.
- CN versions include frame-mounted rerailers, rooftop bell, Farr grilles and CN style steam generator.
- Sound models include accurate 567C prime mover sounds recorded by Rapido from a real FP9A locomotive under load
