Paducah Shops Rebuilt GP-11 Locomotive Shell Kit

The GP-11 were re-built units from Electro-Motive Division (EMD) locomotives between 1978 and 1981. The GP-11 is essentially a remanufactured version of the GP7, GP9, and GP18 locomotives, with upgraded components and a new engine built at IC's Paducah Kentucky Shops.

The GP-11 locomotives were rebuilt to extend their lifespan and improve their performance. They feature a 16-cylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine, which produces 1,800 horsepower. The locomotives also have a modernized electrical system, upgraded traction motors, and new electronics.

The GP-11 locomotives have been used by a variety of railroads in North America, including the Illinois Central, Burlington Northern, Union Pacific, and Canadian National Railway. While many GP-11 locomotives have been retired or replaced by newer models, some are still in operation today and continue to provide reliable service to railroads and their customers.

This kit requires the Athearn Genesis GP9 Locomotive Chassis
