HO GEN GP8 Locomotive CR #5459 (ATHG-2334)
The HO GEN GP8 Locomotive, designated CR #5459, is a model representing the rebuilt Conrail locomotives from the late 20th century. Initially, 39 GP7 units were rebuilt by M-K for continued service, combining efficiency and reliability. This particular model features LED lighting for a realistic presentation and is designed for operations in a variety of eras, from 1971 to the present day. With an unmatched attention to detail, it reflects the authentic characteristics of the prototype including its McHenry scale knuckle couplers, 800-gallon fuel tank, and a B-B wheel configuration.
The locomotive's minimum radius is noted at 18 inches, ensuring compatibility with most track layouts. It is DCC-ready with a 21-pin NEM connector, making it adaptable for digital command control operation. Constructed with a heavy die-cast frame for enhanced traction and power, the HO GEN GP8 promises both visual appeal and operational proficiency on any model railroad.
