Review: Excellent! Check for a used, but new unit! - I got this as a used-new locomotive. Awesome price, runs fantastic!! Be sure to check if there is one available for the one you are looking at. Great deal!!
Review: Walthers GP 15-1 BNSF - Item was received in excellent condition. No damage to engine. Engine runs really well and is quiet. I had it pull 12 freight cars with no problems. Paint scheme and markings are crisp and well done. Details are minimal but you can add more if you like. I've read previous reviews before purchasing this engine and was skeptical about it. Glad I got this engine. It's performance so far is very good especially for the price. Just a side note, this is my first engine from Walthers and I plan on getting a couple more in the future. IMO, it's a good value and a very good product. Also, this is a DC engine. I have not taken the shell off to see if it's ready for DCC. For budget modelers, this is a nice engine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this Local motive available in the Montana rail Link scheme?  thank you.**
A: Locomotive

**Q: What does GP15-1 mean?**
A: GP15-1 is the model number of the real life prototypical locomotive.  Similar to automobiles, Ford makes models like the Escort, Mustang, or F150 pickup.  In this case, the real locomotive manufacturer was EMD (Electro Motive Division of General Motors).  The GP stood for General Purpose and a commonality is a four wheel, two axle truck at each end of the locomotive.  The 15-1 is simply a model designation by EMD going along with the GP.  So for the model, this is simply an HO scale, 1/87th scale, model of an EMD GP15-1.

**Q: 027 gauge?**
A: As the description says - HO Scale, which is definitely not 027

**Q: Can these be converted to DCC?**
A: Yes, but it has to be hard-wired.  It is not DCC ready, and does not have a standardized socket to plug a decoder in.  As with any other locomotive, it can be converted to DCC, but the installation would involve hard wiring the decoder input from the loco pickups, and hard wiring the decoder outputs to the loco motor and lights.
