Offering 2500 horsepower and a number of innovative new features, many were purchased as replacements for elderly diesels, and since EMD took trade-ins, some were constructed with rebuilt parts, notably trucks, from other builders. Along with these variations, modelers and railfans noted other changes made during the production run and began referring to early examples as Phase I (also known as Phase 1) while those built after mid-1965 became Phase II (also known as Phase 2); EMD however considered them all the same model and never used these designations. By the time production ended in 1966, over 1300 were in service, and many are still running on shortlines and at museums in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck out the many features of the WalthersProto Phase II GP35s:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOne time run of these roadnumbers, limited quantity available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBased on units built after mid-1965 - many still in service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eE\u003cstrong\u003equipped with fully featured ESU LokSound 5 Sound and DCC for DCC or DC layouts**\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTop of the line DCC Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFully customizable sound and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCompatible with ESU LokProgrammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRoad-specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSee-through steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSee-through radiator \u0026amp; dynamic brake fans w\/etched brass grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNose-mounted lever-style handbrake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFront \u0026amp; Rear (as appropriate) class lights w\/separate clear lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePhoto-etched small metal lift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDetailed cab interior with crew figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSeparately applied details, including coupler cut levers, m.u. hoses, brake and underbody details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLED constant \u0026amp; directional headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEasy multiple-unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCorrect size RP-25 metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eProto MAX metal knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHeavy die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful WalthersProto Drive featuring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFive-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e14:1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHelical-cut gears for quiet operation \u0026amp; easy multiple unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAll-wheel drive and electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDual machined brass flywheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability.
