The Athearn Genesis HO Scale EMD GP39-2 Santa Fe ATSF #3655 - DCC/Sound is an HO scale diesel locomotive from Athearn Genesis. It is decorated for Santa Fe.
Factory-equipped with DCC and sound.
The Electro-Motive Division GP39-2 was produced between 1974 and 1984 as a four-axle diesel-electric road switcher. Powered by a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 prime mover producing 2,300 horsepower, the GP39-2 offered a fuel-efficient alternative to larger road locomotives while providing the versatility needed for freight and switching assignments.
Santa Fe was one of the largest purchasers of the GP39-2. Initially acquired for fast freight service, these locomotives eventually became familiar sights on local freight trains, industrial branches, and road-switching assignments throughout the Santa Fe system.
