Explore the Athearn ATHG82360 GP9E SP/Kodachrome #3792 in HO scale, equipped with DCC and Sound Tsunami. The Southern Pacific (SP) features a Nathan P3 Horn, signal lights, a large fuel tank, dynamic brakes, and a whip antenna. In the 1970s, SP's 'GRIP' program rebuilt the GP9 fleet. We offer #2873, which has full light packages at both ends and is now retired in a Northern California museum. Only 9 of the large batch of SP GP9E's were painted in these colors. Each road number has unique features. The GP9 series locomotive comes with a full cab interior, wire grab irons, coupler cut levers, and more. Sound - equipped models have an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers. The locomotive is fully assembled, ready - to - run, and accurately scaled from prototypes.

Using this locomotive is a breeze. It's fully assembled and ready - to - run, so you can just place it on your track. For operation, it can work in both DC and DCC modes. In DCC mode, you'll have access to full DCC functions. You can also program a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid getting water or any liquid inside the locomotive. If you notice any loose parts, make sure to tighten them carefully. The minimum radius for the track is 18 inches, but we recommend using a 22 - inch radius for better performance. And always refer to the CV chart in the box if you want to alter some functions.
