As large quantities of first-generation diesels began reaching the end of their useful life, EMD sent out two demonstrators to entice railroads with a modern version of the small GP, built with refurbished trucks, traction motors, and generators . . .or maybe they should have? Other than an artist rendering for publication, there have been no known âofficialâ EMD demonstrators for the GP15-1. We have given the modeler a look into what we think they would have looked like when they came straight out of La Grange, IL. Painted in the then-standard EMD scheme of the era, these GP15-1âs would look great switching an industry or performing yard duties to help prove their worth for your model railroad!
