The Athearn Genesis HO Scale EMD GP39-2 Santa Fe ATSF #3655 Phase I - DCC Ready is an HO scale diesel locomotive from Athearn Genesis. It is decorated for Santa Fe.
DCC-ready version; a DCC decoder and sound are not factory installed.
Electro-Motive Division produced the GP39-2 between 1974 and 1984 as a versatile four-axle diesel-electric road switcher. Powered by a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 engine producing 2,300 horsepower, the GP39-2 offered efficient performance for freight and switching duties.
Santa Fe was one of the largest purchasers of the GP39-2. Initially acquired for fast freight assignments, these locomotives eventually became especially useful on local freight trains, industrial branches, and road-switching duties throughout the Santa Fe system.
Athearn Genesis reproduces ATSF #3655 in its early Phase I configuration, including the distinctive rear-mounted fuel tank, switcher-style walkway steps, and railroad-specific equipment associated with Santa Fe's original GP39-2 locomotives.
