Sunset 3rd Rail GP9/GP7

prrjimOGR Forum Member

I would really like to see Sunset 3rd Rail do a GP9 and GP7 with their great single motor drive and nice QSI sound much like the recent SD7/SD9.

There were 3466 GP9s and 2617 GP7s built in the USA plus some in Canada for most major and mine RRs in the country. No one has done a good model of these with road specific details and good single motor drive in many years. The 3 rail mfgs have done some but these sit too high, have too wide trucks, 2-motor jerky drives, and with generic details, not road specific. And only one MFG did them in 2 rail many years ago. All the brass ones were done before the turn of the century and in small lots. They are seldom seen at O scale train shows.

So do forum members think there is enough desire for GP9s and GP7s to support a run of these models?
