GMD-1 1100-Series
(4-Axle Version w/Sound & DCC)

Canadian National  (No Number)

North America Scheme!

The prototype GMD-1 locomotives were a huge success.

When CN started closing down the branchlines for which the GMD-1 locomotives had been designed, it was decided to rebuild the reliable locomotives for general service.

The rebuild included new 2000-gallon fuel tanks, upgraded steps and sanding equipment, and 4-axle Flexicoil trucks salvaged from retired lightweight GP9 locomotives.

In total, 46 1000-series GMD-1 locomotives were upgraded to 1100-series units.

These 1100-series rebuilds were outshopped between 1983 and 1988 and lasted in service as late as 2006.

Most importantly, the 1100s were used nationwide.

If you model Canadian railways in the 1980s or 1990s, these GMD-1 locomotives are for you.

Not every unit was upgraded.

In total, there were 46 locomotives upgraded to the 1100 series between 1983 and 1988.

CN simply added 100 to the unit number, so 1063 became 1163 and so on.

The last 1100-series GMD-1 in service was 1177, finally retired in 2006.

Many 1100-series GMD-1 locomotives were later rebuilt and still remain in service today as 1400-series engines.
