The “u” stood for “upgrade” which was a common term for Santa Fe rebuilds during this time. Other than the mechanical and electrical upgrades, Santa Fe added some unique details that distinguish these from their non-rebuild counterparts. These changes include: Fuel tank moved to the rear, new “swing out” style number boards, new style exhaust stack, and added an equipment door to the right side hood, just behind the cab. They also featured “switcher” style walkway steps for crew comfort during switching moves. A few even received modified corrugated radiator grilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#3418\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew PH 1 body with corrugated grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNathan 3-chime horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadded access equipment door behind cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGP39-2 LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit class lights, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell placement \u0026amp; type per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, and breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlomberg-B or Blomberg-M trucks with appropriate bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal fan grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir tanks mounted below sill unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRIMED FOR GRIME MODELS FEATURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuplicated look and feel of “In Service” equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaded base colors matched to the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect starting point for adding grime and rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the decade between 1974 and 1984, EMD produced the GP39-2 for seven North American railroads. The basic design followed most four axle road diesel switchers for the time. Borrowing improvements from the GP38-2 and GP40-2 designs, this mid-horsepower road switcher utilized a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine for its prime mover. With 4 fewer cylinders, the smaller engine provided a distinctive long hood on the phase II and phase III bodies, where the clean room\/engine compartment doors were set back from the cab further than predecessor locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensitivity to fuel economy in the 1970s justified the GP39-2 in the locomotive market. It also laid the ground work for EMD to start exploring locomotive designs that utilize engines with larger piston displacement yet possess fewer cylinders. This approach has become the foundation to modern locomotive technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title text-left fs-24 fs-md-22 lh-28\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col column-count-desktop fs-12 lh-20 fs-md-14 px-2 mt-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eAxles: 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eDCC: Ready\/21-Pin NEM\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eEra: 1971-1990, 1991-2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eLighting: LED\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003ePrototype Manufacturer: EMD\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eReporting Mark: ATSF\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eScale: HO\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eSound: Ready\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value fw-600 col-6\"\u003eSub Brand: GENESIS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41014861725731,"sku":"ATHG66254","price":379.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/athearn-genesis-ho-scale-emd-gp39-2u-atsf-3418-dc-1203286842.jpg?v=1762487276","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/athearn-genesis-ho-scale-emd-gp39-2u-atsf-3418-dc","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
