HO MP15DC Locomotive - Atlas Master Series Silver
(Without Decoder and Sound) [DCC Ready]

Genesee & Wyoming (Orange/Black) #45

Item #9909

The 1500hp MP15DC was designed by EMD as a replacement model for
the successful SW1500 switcher. The longer frame of the MP15DC
allowed for increased fuel capacity and the use of Blomberg road
trucks; increased sand capacity was also offered as an option.
The first MP15DCs were built for Missouri Pacific in February
1974 and a total of 351 units were produced through the end of
production in January 1983.

The MP15DC is a versatile locomotive that is employed by both
large and small railroads across North America in road freight
and yard switching duties. It was also purchased by several
non-railroad corporations for use in plant switching service.

Atlas’ model includes the three different styles of long hood
that were common to the MP15DC throughout production: standard
hood, hood with square air filter box and hood with angled air
filter box (the air filter box is located in the area immediately
ahead of the cab). In addition, various styles of hood and
cab-end sand boxes are being offered. The model will also include
a see-through cab with various interior details and crew figures
included.

filter box, standard hood)
