Atlas N scale GP15-1 diesel

Just got my MoPac, BEAUTIFUL! Cant wait to get my FRISCO!

I’m a ‘Doubting Thomas’. I considered purchasing this GP before reading your articleand after reading your article, I will make the purchase and get back to you with my results…Thank You, Bill Sowka.

sounds good to me only snag i run pennsyvania.

It’s very impressing. It has details many HO locos don’t. At first sight it appears like a HO loco. Fantastic. Things like this loco takes a lot of people to change to N scale.

Just got my second GP15-1 Diesel with Conrail road name.
They look and run great. The best part was the price from Walthers, so low I picked up another…Check it out, WOW!

Fantastic detail job from Atlas, and low speed running
sounds truely impressive !

I have just started a small collection of HO stuff. I think I want to start an N scaled collection as well. No reason I can’t have both right? :slight_smile:

Too bad it does not come with a DCC chip on board. I hate having to hunt though the online shops for a decoder. Our shop is so back woodsy I am surprised they can find the door to get out at night…

My wife bought me an Atlas Trainman starter set for Christmas to get me back into Model Railroading. My BNSF GP15 easily pulls my now 10 car train which is more than MR stated it would pull according to their tests. Thanks Atlas, very nice model.

This is a nice little engine for the price.

I have this locomotive that came in a trainman line starter set that i purchased a few months back to get back into model railroading. the set as whole is very impressive but the loco definately shines!
and it easily pulls 15 n scale cars with no problems.
Great job Atlas!

I bought a used one and convertered it to dcc the only problem I had was I had to take off the shims off the light board and put them on the dcc board, but the engine is the best switcher I have now. smooth UP shame to dirty it up.

great locomotive. i had mine running for 5 hours at a show pulling variuos loads. no problems at all. and it looks great.
