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.

Second Release
Limited Run - Discontinued when Sold Out
|
By the mid 50s, increasing pressure from long-haul trucks, declining passenger revenues and mounting costs forced western railroads to find new ways to improve service. Faced with expensive overhauls of early cab and hood unit diesels, many began looking at new equipment as well as ways to improve existing motive power.
In 1955 Union Pacific equipped several GP9s with turbochargers as an experiment. Their success inspired EMD to create its own turbocharger for the 567 prime mover, leading to the introduction of the six-axle SD24 in 1958. Further experiments in 1959 created a four-axle version, dubbed the GP20.
Early in their careers, the new units were typically assigned priority freights that demanded higher speeds. With the arrival of newer power, they were gradually bumped into secondary runs, and eventually spent their last years in local and yard service. Following their retirement, a few went to work for shortline operators.
Western Pacific #2001, the very first GP20, was donated by UP to the Feather River Rail Society in 1985, where it has been restored to its as-built appearance.

Life-Like’s ‘N’
scale GP20 can make similar claims tothe prototype. 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 by Life-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.

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
