Offering 2500 horsepower and a number of innovative new features, many were purchased as replacements for elderly diesels, and since EMD took trade-ins, some were constructed with rebuilt parts, notably trucks, from other builders! Along with these variations, modelers and railfans noted other changes made during the production run, and began referring to early examples as Phase I while those built after mid-1965 became Phase II. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walthers Proto","offers":[{"title":"Santa Fe #2896 with DCC \u0026 Sound","offer_id":7471879454748,"sku":"920-42163","price":269.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gul, Mobile, and Ohio #637","offer_id":42114377187426,"sku":"920-42169","price":329.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/5102\/products\/920-42163.jpg?v=1628004126"},{"product_id":"waltherproto-emd-gp7-santa-fe-2651","title":"WaltherProto EMD GP7  Santa Fe #2651","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWalthersProto locomotives and rolling stock are the pinnacle of the Walthers line and offer a combination of accuracy, road-specific detail, innovative features, and superb operation that is unmatched in the hobby.
