Walthers Trainline EMD HO Scale GP9M Ready-to-Run Sante Fe (Superfleet) #2092

My son loves it

Need an engine for my HO train set, purchased this and it runs well and is a great addition to my set

The quality is amazing and it runs very well. Try to get Amazon to put the box in another box or the locomotive box gets destroyed like mine did.

This Walthers diesel runs smooth and quiet. Even with used life like track and old transformer. Fast enough to throw light cars off the rail. I will weight them and get a larger layout. Excellent upgrade to hobby quality. Be sure to lube engine as instructed. I use Rem oil. Will pull all I have and more.

This engine didn't run at all. I took it apart, because I didn't want to wait for yet another replacement locomotive for two weeks. The top of the rear (and front as well) truck has two tabs that are forced into the upper part of the chassis. There the train rest and turns on the truck. What I did was drilled out where the tab was, and screwed the truck to the chassis. I also put a Soundtraxx 885824 Tsunami2 decoder in it, and it runs great. Has good slow speed, and sounds great as well. The broken tab might be a fluke, and I might buy another one. I noticed they raised the price, so maybe not, because I bought it for the low price.

Beautiful locomotive. Worth the money

Walthers builds high quality products ! All wheels provide electrical pickup, all wheels provide propulsion, great low to high speed operation (as long as your DC power pack provides a smooth ramp up in voltage). I liked the locomotive so much, I have purchased five more Walthers Trainline locomotives.

Out of the box worked and ran, very heavy weight HO Scale I love it 8 wheel drive 2 motor 15 20 carts easy pull capacity.
