## Description

Walthers Trainline HO Scale Model EMD GP9M Standard DC United States Army #4628 : desertcart.ae: Toys

Review: This locomotive i bought for a low price on here and then it went up afterwards however its worth it. The loco i will say has 8 wheel drive, electrical pickup is great . I suggest to run it in about 15 to 30 min each direction to break in the motor. speaking of the motor it is a 5 pole skew wound motor which has a very small flywheel to smooth out operation as most locomotives have it for and when it you slow it down it will carry the momentum however this one is so tiny in this particular locomotive that it dont carry the momentum. Walthers based this shell as i was pointed out as a Cox model train company and they did a good job with it . only flaw i seen with my example was a paint defect on the nose however it was just a small yellow dot from factory not a big deal especially what i paid for it. i will say this could handle at least 15 to 20 cars on level track and it handles 18 inch radius curves as a min. The couplers are disapontment as they used the Bachmann EZ mate type which has a plastic spring piece that will stop doing what it does to keep coupler closed eventually so switch this to ezmate 2 or Kadees. even the Walthers kadee copied couplers known as Proto MAx metal knucle couplers will work as well. This has also One headlight in the cab no directional lighting but otherwise its fine and you can add it youself if you wanted and then ive been informed DCC will be easy to convert. NOTE: makes sure check the truck bottoms for excess oil and clean it up before use that way wpnt cause issues. GREAT LOCOMOTIVE
