Athearn?s Ready-To-Roll? GP35, based on the Rail Power Products tooling, represents a phase 1a version that was produced from October 1963 to February 1964. This was arguably the most widely used variant of the GP35. Some of the spotting features of this phase captured on the model are: ? Multiple latch on the engine compartment doors ? Triple louver sets on the battery box covers ? Open top 36? radiator center fans ? Flat bottom cab number board housing ? Flat inertial air filter hatch ? Thick side sill ? Low profile fuel tank This attention to detail and the unsurpassed value built into every Ready-To-Roll? locomotive, as well as all the additional incorporated features, makes them the first choice with model railroad operators.
