HO EMD SD90MAC-H Phase 2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound UP #8561 (ATHG-1044)

The HO EMD SD90MAC-H Phase 2 Locomotive is a highly detailed model designed for train enthusiasts. This powerful locomotive features a DCC and sound capable system, operating under the Union Pacific number 8561. Originally introduced in 1995, the EMD SD90MAC was engineered to be one of the most powerful single-engine diesel locomotives at the time. Despite early technical challenges with the 265H prime mover, the locomotives were ultimately delivered with the more reliable EMD 710G prime mover. This model outlived many of its contemporaries and represents a significant part of railroading history.

The Athearn Genesis version of the SD90MAC-H includes intricate details such as working number boards, ground lights, and see-through steps, making it a perfect fit for avid collectors and operators alike. The heavy die-cast frame adds impressive pulling power, and the locomotive comes fully assembled and ready to run on model train tracks. Features such as flexible rubber trainline hoses, etched see-through steps, and an interior cab with added details enhance its realism. As an example of superior engineering, it has been scaled accurately from prototype resources, ensuring that modelers receive a fine representation of the true locomotive.
