These GP9 Phase II with High Hood locomotives have revised tooling and road-specific details, with models based on prototypes built from 1955 to 1957. Known to modelers and railfans as the ‘phase two’ version, many of these GP9s are still in service today.

• Easy multiple-unit operation
• Superb paint and lettering

• Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers

Based on units in service during the 1970s - 1980s, these HO WalthersProto replicas feature:

**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. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
