Very impressive and handsome looking GP7 model, this Great Northern gp7 model has an attractive paint scheme and I hope to purchase one of these Genesis gp7/gp9 models for myself later on in the future.

High Nose Locomotives look cool.

Keep on doing more DCC n sound technology for ho n g scale locomotives sound technology is worth investing money into the entertainment

Proper.

Little info…the factory Tsunami2 version has brighter lights as it uses 4.7K ohm resistors vs the 20K ohms on the DCC ready board. the DCC ready is intended for people who want to install Loksound or Wowsound

What speaker is in this GP7?

[@hoscalereadingrailroadhobb6314]

Hello, I received a Athearn GP7 with factory installed Tsunami2 sound. I run NCE Powercab. I successfully went into CV114 and disabled Auto Start. What function buttons do I press to startup and shutdown the prime mover?

It would most likely be f8 if not you'll need to function map that in
