| These older Athearn blue box geep's I feel still hold their own today with a bit of weathering and extra details. |
For the longest time Athearn blue box GP-9's were the way to go for us modeling local power and lines such as the GT New England and CV. I posted this photo of my two Geep's on Facebook which got a lot of attention. Thought I would share them with you. They are basic units that I detailed to follow the prototype to some degree, then painted and decaled. The last bit is the weathering. The lead unit I got from Peter Mumby which was partly done when I got it...George Dutka
The GP9 was my first Athearn locomotive, purchased at Booth's Hobbies on Concession Street in Hamilton. If I recall correctly, for my 15th (might have been 16th) birthday. Back then, the next revolution in H.O. scale locomotives was 'Flywheel Drive'!
