Burlington GP-9 Diesel Engine (Non-Powered)

In 1949, General Motors' Electro-Motive Division debuted the GP-7, their first hood unit diesel. While not as elegant as previous sleek car body engines, it proved more useful and solidified the hood unit engine's dominance. The 1750 horsepower GP-9, introduced in 1954, built on the GP-7's success. Engineers appreciated the Geeps' narrow hood for visibility, and mechanics found them easy to repair. These versatile engines handled various tasks, from yard duties to mainline and passenger service. M.T.H. offers these industry-standard diesels in various railroad markings. Use them to move freight on your layout, from switching duties to mainline operations.
