Description
The SD80MAC, introduced by EMD in late 1995, is one of today’s most powerful locomotives, seen throughout North America on Class I mainline railroads, weighing in at more than 400,000 pounds. With a length in excess of 80 feet, the SD80MAC is one of the heaviest and longest single diesel locomotives in the world.
The behemoth SD80MAC can generate up to 5,000 horsepower and has a maximum speed of 75 mph. It is equipped with the revolutionary radial truck, the EMD HTCR-II, capable of reducing the angle of wear between wheels and rail.
Models are equipped with a powerful five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels, white LED headlights, semi-automatic knuckle couplers, MU hoses, DCC socket, ditch lights, 45″ scale wheels and separate windshield wipers.
Some detail pieces require installation by the modeler. While the models may physically be capable of operating on a 18″ radius curve, it is recommended they be run on curves no smaller than 22″ radius. Larger radius curves will yield better operation of these massive models.
