EMD turbocharged its existing 567 engine resulting in a 2,000 horsepower locomotive designated GP20. EMD offered to rebuild older FT units into new GP20 locomotives using remanufactured parts from aging FTs. This allowed railroads to trade in four FTs totaling 5,400 h.p. for three new locomotives providing 6,000 h.p. All the remanufactured parts carried a new factory warranty. Many railroads took advantage of this cost saving program.
The GP20 set the stage for things to come. Its innovative design ushered in the higher horse power second generation in diesel locomotive design. Life-Like’s ‘N’ scale GP20 can make similar claims. The all die-cast frame fills the locomotive shell with every possible ounce of weight. Weight in a locomotive not only means better tractive effort but also enhances electrical pick-up. These provide for superior performance.
The Life-Like 'N' scale model of the GP20 includes more separately applied detail parts than any 'N' scale locomotive previously done byLife-Like. Eight wheel drive and electrical pickup combined with a metal chassis with body mounted couplers and dual flywheels provide for a smooth running locomotive powerful enough to pull your freight trains just like the prototype. The 'N' GP20 also comes with prototypically correct dynamic brake detail.
