Intended to provide an alternative to the rebuilding programs that many railroads were applying to their early road switchers, it is generally employed as a yard switcher or light road switcher. A total of 310 units were built for American railroads. A number of GP15-1s remain in service today for yard work and light road duty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e EMD built 28 examples of a variant, the GP15T, between October 1982 and April 1983. It was a very close cousin to the GP15-1, but used a turbocharger in order to generate more power from a smaller engine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Running out their miles on secondary assignments, DRGW's GP7s and 9s toiled in relative obscurity until their retirement. Under this alternate timeline, DRGW ordered EMD's GP15T in order to replace the aging geeps and increase the efficiency of these assignments- the turbocharged units being better suited to the Grande's mountainous territory. They feature typical DRGW features such as the M-3 horn and nose-mounted gyralight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e DRGW FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Operating class lights\u003cbr\u003e Nose-mounted gyralight (flashes on DCC\/Sound version)\u003cbr\u003e Nathan M-3 horn\u003cbr\u003e Sinclair radio antenna\u003cbr\u003e Blomberg-M trucks \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GENESIS DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Coupler cut levers\u003cbr\u003e MU hoses\u003cbr\u003e Trainline hose\u003cbr\u003e See-through cab windows\u003cbr\u003e Full cab interior\u003cbr\u003e Walkway tread\u003cbr\u003e Windshield wipers\u003cbr\u003e Lift rings\u003cbr\u003e Wire grab irons\u003cbr\u003e Sander lines\u003cbr\u003e DCC-ready features Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003cbr\u003e Fine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003e Detailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp; breather pipes\u003cbr\u003e Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e Genesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain for trouble free operation\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and 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 trouble free operation\u003cbr\u003e Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003e Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003e Accurately-painted and -printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003e Fully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003cbr\u003e Operating Class Lights (DCC only)\u003cbr\u003e Operating Number boards\u003cbr\u003e Minimum radius: 18\" - Recommended radius: 22\" \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\u003cbr\u003e Program a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003cbr\u003e Many functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003cbr\u003e CV chart included in the box","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43044003840063,"sku":"ATH-G13346","price":223.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/fdh_image_placeholder_700x_1920x_34d0b86a-9334-4063-9ed1-7f2339553035.jpg?v=1774645298","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/in-stock-athearn-genesis-ho-g13346-gp15t-rio-grande-5970","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
