Outwardly similar to the earlier GP7, and sharing the same boxy, no frills body with its high, short hood, minor production changes in the number and placement of louvers on locomotives built from 1955 to 1957 resulted in what modelers and railfans refer to as \"phase two\" GP9s. In the 1960s, many roads began rebuilding their GP9s as an affordable alternative to new equipment, and many were refitted with chopped short hoods to improve forward visibility. Like it's prototypes, many are still going strong today and the WalthersMainline Phase II GP9 with chopped nose is perfect power for any assignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne time run of these roadnumbers - order now, limited quantity available!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed body with chopped nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on Phase II units rebuilt in the 1960s by many owners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale width hood with correct contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith or without dynamic brakes as appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect RP-25 metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with ESU Sound and DCC for DCC or DC layouts featuring:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 function outputs with brightness control by CV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully DCC compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14, 28 or 128 speed steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual mode DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Airhorns changeable by CVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 bells changeable by CVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 8-notch prime mover sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame powerful drive as WalthersProto(R) locos featuring:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 to 1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical-cut gears for quiet operation and easy multiple unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive and electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined brass flywheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant and directional LED headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-pin DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded drill starter points - add grab irons to your model easily with the GP9 Phase II Diesel Detail Kit (#910-258 sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE NOTE: When operating Walthers-branded DCC-equipped locomotives in DC mode, do not use powerpacks that exceed an 18V rating.
