The Walthers 910 - 20436 EMD GP9 Phase II is a great addition to your 1960s and later diesel collection. It represents the Chicago & North Western C&NW #4307 in eye - catching green and yellow colors. This HO scale model comes with DCC and Sound features. Please note: When running Walthers DCC - equipped locomotives in DC mode, avoid power packs over 18V, like MRC 1300 - series packs that may cause issues with our decoders. The WalthersMainline Phase II Chopped Nose GP9 is a must - have. It looks similar to the GP7 but has unique 'phase two' features due to production changes from 1955 - 1957. In the 1960s, many were rebuilt with chopped short hoods. This model has a detailed chopped - nose body, scale - width hood, and correct RP - 25 metal wheels. It's available with ESU Sound and DCC, suitable for both DCC and DC layouts. It also has a powerful drive system like WalthersProto locos. Limited quantity of these road numbers! Order now.

Using this Walthers EMD GP9 Phase II locomotive is easy. First, if you're using it in DC mode, make sure your power pack doesn't exceed 18V to avoid decoder issues. For DCC layouts, it's fully compatible and offers various functions. When operating, enjoy the realistic sounds like airhorns, bells, and prime - mover noises. You can change the airhorns and bells through CVs. For maintenance, keep the locomotive clean. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth to remove dust. Check the wheels regularly for any dirt or debris that could affect its movement. The metal chassis and brass flywheel are durable, but a little care goes a long way to keep your model running smoothly. If you want to add grab irons, use the GP9 Phase II Diesel Detail Kit (sold separately) with the molded drill starter points on the model.
