Add a unique Southern Railway diesel to your roster with the Athearn Genesis HO Scale EMD GP15-1 Southern Railway SOU #5300 – DCC/Sound – ATHG-1909. Part of Athearn's exclusive Legendary Liveries series, this model imagines what a Southern Railway GP15-1 could have looked like had the railroad ordered the locomotive from EMD. Finished in Southern's classic “Tuxedo” paint scheme, SOU #5300 combines the GP15-1 platform with distinctive Southern styling for an eye-catching alternate-history locomotive.
Athearn equips this Southern GP15-1 with a high short hood and long-hood-forward operation, reflecting Southern Railway locomotive practices of the era. Southern-specific details include operating class lights, lit number boards, Blomberg M trucks, Nathan 3-chime horns on both ends, and no front anticlimber. Additional Genesis details include a full cab interior, coupler cut levers, trainline and MU hoses, windshield wipers, wire grab irons, walkway tread, lift rings, sander lines, fine-scale handrails, and a detailed fuel tank.
Underneath, Athearn's Genesis driveline combines a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision-machined flywheels, all-wheel drive, and all-wheel electrical pickup for smooth and reliable operation. A heavy die-cast frame provides additional traction and pulling power, while body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and RP25 wheel contours provide dependable performance. This model comes factory-equipped with a SoundTraxx Tsunami2 DCC/Sound decoder and dual cube speakers and operates on both DC and DCC layouts.
