HO EMD SD89MAC Locomotive with DCC & Sound, EMDX #92 (ATHG-1053)

The HO EMD SD89MAC Locomotive features Digital Command Control (DCC) and sound, representing a significant model in the evolution of locomotive technology. Designed as a 12-cylinder counterpart to the more powerful SD90MAC, the SD89MAC was intended to be a more fuel-efficient option, though it ultimately saw limited production. This locomotive does, however, serve as a testament to the advancements in locomotive design.

Equipped with an array of realistic details, the model includes flexible rubber hoses, etched see-through steps, and lit number boards for added realism. The interior features a full cab detailing, while the exterior boasts a heavy die-cast frame, ensuring greater traction. The Genesis driveline is powered by a 5-pole skew-wound motor and is designed for smooth, quiet operation. It also features onboard DCC decoder technology with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, allowing for an authentic auditory experience when running the model.

This locomotive is designed to operate on 18-inch radius tracks, with a recommended radius of 22 inches for optimal performance. Fully assembled and ready to run, it promises an engaging experience for hobbyists and collectors alike, whether in a functioning rail yard or as a part of a display.
