ATHEARNHO ScaleREADY-TO_RUN GP 9 Phase II DIESEL FREIGHT LOCOMOTIVE DC / DCC with TSUNAMI SOUND OUT – OF – PRODUCTION Locomotives Lettered for the:NORTHERN PACIFICFeaturing the NORTHERN PACIFIC BLOCK GOLD Lettering ” NP BLACK & GOLD ” RED Paint SchemeHISTORY:The EMD GP9 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division between 1954 and 1959. The GP9 succeeded the GP7 as the second model of EMD’s General Purpose (GP) line, incorporating a new sixteen-cylinder engine which generated 1,750 horsepower (1.30 MW). This locomotive type was offered both with and without control cabs; locomotives built without control cabs were called GP9B locomotives. EMD constructed 3,626 GP9s, including 165 GP9Bs. An additional 646 GP9s were built by General Motors Diesel, EMD’s Canadian subsidiary, for a total of 4,257 GP9s produced when Canadian production ended in 1963. The GP9 was succeeded by the similar but slightly more powerful GP18 While the road switcher concept had appeared as early as 1940, EMD preferred to concentrate on its F series cab unit diesels for freight service. But with no footboards and no rearward visibility, F units were not well liked by crews on locals and similar runs where there was a lot of switching or reverse running. EMD entered the road switcher market tentatively in 1948 with its BL1 and BL2, which mounted a semi-streamlined body on the same frame and machinery as the F3. This was a start, but in 1949, EMD found exactly what the railroads wanted in its new General Purpose series. Simple and rugged, the squared-off lines of the new GP7 weren’t necessarily handsome, but this didn’t matter to the new owners. In short order, buyers were using GP7s for everything from road freights to commuter service. Production continued with minor changes along the way (these spotting features are referred to as phases by railfans to differentiate variations among the otherwise similar locos) through 1954 when the more powerful GP9 was introduced. Reliable and versatile, many have lead long lives and are still working for shortlines and industrial operators. Design and ProductionEMD designed the GP9 as an improved version of the GP7, with an increase in power from 1,500 hp to 1,750 hp, and a change in prime mover to the latest version of the 567 engine, the 567C. Externally, the GP9 strongly resembled its predecessor. Most were built with high short hoods, but the Southern Pacific ordered a number with low short hoods for improved crew visibility. EMD built GP9s at its LaGrange, Illinois facility until 1959, when American production was ended in favor of the GP18. GMD production in Canada continued until August 1963, when the final GP9 was produced.
