What is this please? A "Geep" a "Beep" a "Bang"?

@Mannyrock posted:

Sorry for this elementary question.  I am looking at the following diesel online:

RMT O Scale #4332 Alaska Complete Powered Diesel Locomotive #1804 - NIB

The only identifying reference on the box says it is a "GP".  Nothing else.

Is this what you guys call a Geep?

Any info on its overall length ?   I can't find any size specs online.   (The guy who posted this for sale accidentally said that it is 18 inches long, which can't be right.)

How do these run please?

Thanks for any info.

Manny- a quick google search shows that engine to be a standard BEEP (GP style) engine. The 18" must be an error. Contact the seller to confirm.

This is a ready made trains/toys "Beep"  maybe 6 to 8 inches long

Manny, If you had learned to use Google you would have seen the listing immediately above this one from Trainz would have shown the same item at a better price, clearer picture along with a better description of a "Beep". Of course if you Googled Geep train you would have found the first listing was that of a definition of a Geep in a railroading context. While this Forum is a great source of info with many of us willing to help newbies and oldsters alike, you seem to persist in asking for basic info that is readily available on numerous easily accessible public sites or in train magazines and books in stores and libraries without doing some basic research on your own. Or do you just prefer info "handed" to you?

I own three Beeps already.   All of the boxes state on the front GP 7/9.   That is why I was confused by the box that just said GP.

Thx,

If you don't want to help, just move along.  Manny saw a few discrepancies with previous Beeps that he owned and was looking for clarification.  With all the scam artists out there, it's good to verify information with a second source.

There's no need to berate people.

A tad harsh, I think.

Thanks for the replies guys.
