The first 7 were considered pre-production units and wore 2-3 numbers during their lifetime. The 8500 series we are offering represents the second and third order of SD90MAC-Hs that were delivered between 1997-1999 and before their final renumbering to the 8900 series.SD90MAC SERIES LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: Brand new model previously only available in brassFully-assembled and ready-to-runDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connectorAccurately-painted and –printed paint schemesScaled from prototype resources including drawings, photographs, and moreCoupler cut leversRubber MU hosesTrainline hoseSee through cab windowsFull cab interiorWalkway treadWindshield wipersLift ringsWire grab ironsSander linesFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearanceDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, & breather pipesMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatibleGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, and precision machined flywheelsAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth & quiet operationAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flowWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of trackLED Lighting for realistic appearanceHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling powerPackaging securely holds for the model for safe storageGENESIS 2.0 FEATURES: By integrating and pioneering some of the latest model advancements in the industry, Athearn is redefining model fidelity with Genesis 2.0Etched, see-through walkway stepsIlluminated number boardsIlluminated ground lightsSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATUREOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 soundDual cube speakers for optimal sound qualitySound units operate in both DC and DCCFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC modeEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DCAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC modePrecision slow speed controlPROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATIONIntroduced in 1995, the EMD SD90MAC was intended to become that builder’s most-powerful single-engine diesel locomotive. The new locomotive was to use EMD’s newly-developed 265H prime mover, featuring 6000 horsepower. However, this engine was experiencing technical problems in development, which led to the first groups of locomotives being delivered with the EMD 710G prime mover of 4300 horsepower (the intent being to retrofit these with the more-powerful 265H at a later date). Ironically, the technical problems with the 265H were never fully resolved, and no conversions were done. The 710G-engined SD90MACs outlasted their later 265H cousins in service by a wide margin, with some units only recently having been retired or sold by Union Pacific, and other railroads choosing to rebuild them for continued service.The Athearn Genesis 2.0 SD90MAC features all of the cutting-edge detail and operational features that are expected by discerning modelers: Working number boards and ground lights, see-through steps, numerous separately-applied details on the body and underframe, and a heavy die-cast frame for massive pulling power.
