The EMD MP15, sometimes referenced as MP15DC, is a 1,500 hp (1,119 kW) diesel–electric road switcher locomotive model produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1974 and 1980. It was equipped with a V12 12-645E engine sporting a Roots blower .

The MP15 (later redesignated as the MP15DC) was the first in the series and interestingly, was meant to not only for yard, industrial, and light branch duties but also as a general road switcher. It replaced the earlier SW1500, featuring a larger fuel tank (1,400 gallons) and Blomberg trucks as standard for general road service.

The item is in brand new condition as advertised for this N Scale Intermountain brand limited production run of the EMD Southern Pacific SD40T-2 (With Decoder). It is a great price for this high-quality past production product. Not so easy to find today. Offered to Me at a great price too. Highly recommend this seller.
