CSX

By the mid 1990’s, CSX started to adapt yellow ends and frame stripes to some of their diesels in an effort to be more visible at grade crossings and help prevent collisions. This was a simple way of updating the paint scheme without a full repaint. Both the black frame (Blue Stripe) and blue frame (Blue Down) examples are represented in this run for some variety to your fleet. Each road number offered has different art details between them.

 

CSX FEATURES:

• Unique art per road number

• Timken roller bearings

• Expert approved artwork and colors

• Ditch lights on both ends

• 5-chime horn

 

ROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:

#1504 “Blue stripe” repaint with yellow ends and frame stripe, C&O sub lettering, whip antenna, large front plow, unique number board font

#1513 “Blue stripe” repaint with yellow ends and frame stripe, CSXT sub lettering, whip antenna, large front plow, crooked CSX lettering on right side

#1518 “Blue down” repaint with yellow ends and frame stripe, CSXT sub lettering, whip antenna, Chessie front rock plow

Rio Grande

Running out their miles on secondary assignments, DRGW’s GP7s and 9s toiled in relative obscurity until their retirement. Under this alternate timeline, DRGW ordered EMD’s GP15T in order to replace the aging geeps and increase the efficiency of these assignments- the turbocharged units being better suited to the Grande’s mountainous territory. They feature typical DRGW features such as the M-3 horn and nose-mounted gyralight.

 

DRGW FEATURES:

• Operating class lights

• Nose-mounted gyralight (flashes on DCC/Sound version)

• Nathan M-3 horn

• Blomberg-M trucks

• Sinclair radio antenna

Whether company proposed paint schemes, canceled locomotive orders, or alternate takes on history, Legendary Liveries are fun and unique additions to any roster. Enjoy these items, and answer the ultimate railroad question of: “What if?”

 

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The EMD GP15-1 is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1976 and March 1982. Intended to provide an alternative to the rebuilding programs that many railroads were applying to their early road switchers, it is generally employed as a yard switcher or light road switcher. A total of 310 units were built for American railroads. A number of GP15-1s remain in service today for yard work and light road duty. EMD built 28 examples of a variant, the GP15T, between October 1982 and April 1983. It was a very close cousin to the GP15-1, but used a turbocharger in order to generate more power from a smaller engine.
