HO GEN GP7 Locomotive Primed For Grime RI #1263 (ATHG-2279)
HO-scale GP7 Diesel Locomotive, Primed for Grime, Road Number 1263. This Athearn model faithfully reproduces the EMD GP7’s compact hood and full cab, finished in a primed-for-grime base that mirrors the look of an in-service locomotive and provides an ideal starting point for weathering. Road 1263 features maroon with yellow ends and end logos, plus MARS-type headlights, slotted skirts, spark arrestors, a winterization hatch, and footboard pilots for a prototype-accurate silhouette.
Inside, the locomotive is built for reliable operation: a heavy die-cast frame for traction, see-through cab windows with a full interior, etched radiator grilles, and finely detailed handrails. It rides on appropriate AAR-style trucks with correct gearing, includes all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for smooth running on HO tracks, and uses RP25 wheel contours for compatibility with most brands. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectivity, and sound-equipped variants add Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for authentic engine and horn effects. With an 18-inch minimum radius, it fits neatly on most hobby layouts.
