Add an early-Conrail EMD GP7 to your HO fleet: this Athearn Genesis recreates an ex-Reading unit repainted in Conrail blue, #5834.
After Conrail was formed in 1976, former Reading GP7s were repainted blue — with plenty of unit-to-unit variation. #5834 stands out with a non-standard “Conrail” font on the sides.
Equipped with a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 DCC and sound decoder.
Features
- EMD GP7 locomotive, HO scale (Genesis line)
- Conrail (ex-Reading) scheme, #5834; Blomberg-B trucks
- Genesis driveline: 5-pole skew-wound motor, machined flywheels, all-wheel drive and pickup
- SoundTraxx Tsunami2 DCC and sound decoder with dual cube speakers (runs on DC and DCC)
- LED lighting; full cab interior, see-through windows
- Wire grab irons, windshield wipers, separately applied details
- Semi-scale McHenry knuckle couplers (Kadee compatible)
- Heavy die-cast metal frame for added traction
- RP25-contour wheels; minimum radius 18"
- HO scale; made by Athearn (Genesis line)
