B&O GP9 numbers
Posted by The Ferroequinologist on Sunday, October 2, 2011 12:30 PM

I recently purchased two of the new GP9's by Bachmann. What are the correct numbers for these locomotives? Wikipedia info says #6447-6598. Is this correct info? Thanks.

  Looking beyond Wikipedia, It appears that the Bachmann model is number 6431.  It was delivered in group 675-696.  These were renumbered to the 6421-6446, which includes the Bachmann model.  Additional orders for GP9's were numbered 6447-6598.  At least that is what I can find ...

jrbernier: I found the correct numbers on the fallen Flags website. Bachmann has used correct numbers. Thanks.
