The basic design followed most diesel switchers with the addition of a short hood instead of an end-cab. The hoods were also full height to better accommodate the diesel engine and mechanical and electrical components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1954 EMD upgraded the GP7 to become the 1,750 horsepower GP9. Externally, the first GP9s were virtually unchanged from the last GP7s. Later versions would include different louver arrangements and the last ones would come without the frame skirting. The GP9 was available with all of the fuel tank, steam generator, and dynamic brake options as the GP7, including “torpedo boats.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Conrail was formed in 1976, it found itself with a large assortment of GP7 and GP9 units from all walks of life. One of the biggest groups of Conrail GP9s was originally owned by the Pennsylvania RR, which rostered GP9s in both Phase II and Phase III body styles. There was much variation regarding the application of Conrail ownership markings to these units; our Genesis diesels will replicate this variety. Each one features unique patches, logos, and decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormer Penn Central units; all originally belonged to the Pennsylvania Railroad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs per the prototypes, the GP9 units are set up to operate long hood forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 1976+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase III GP9B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo stenciled CR logos on each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad number on each end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark arrestors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear MU catch boxes with footboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Nub” style walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal radiator intake grilles and fan grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes, and retention tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg-B trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSander lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with both 8- and 9-pin connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately-painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain for trouble free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncandescent bulbs for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBidirectional constant LED lighting so headlight brightness remains constant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement parts available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37649458135206,"sku":"ATHG88191","price":169.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-g88191-ho-scale-emd-gp9b-conrail-cr-3811.jpg?v=1611703767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-g88191-ho-scale-emd-gp9b-conrail-cr-3811","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
