Lionel 2433409 O BTO PRR SuperBass GP9B #7185B

In the tradition of the "covered wagons," EMD offered a B unit model for it's GP7 and GP9. B units gave all the same power and performance as a standard GP-9 but saved the costs of cabs and controls. Most roads preferred the flexibility to use their Geeps in single as well as multiple unit service, and only the Pennsylvania and Union Pacific ordered GP9Bs. The Pennsy's fleet survived through Penn Central and into Conrail before retirement. Uncle Pete's made it to the early 1970s. A perfect pairing with the GP9s, these B units can be used with other power as well. There are lots of photos from both railroads showing them coupled to a great variety of power - from GP30s to DD35s! As SuperBass units, these locomotives will crank up the bass and offer great sounds in any consist. In addition to SuperBass sounds, these locomotives include smoke, lighting and an ElectroCoupler. Available for the first time with LEGACY, these GP9Bs should be a welcome addition for any Geep fan.
