EMD SD35 Low Nose - 3-Rail w/RailSounds & TMCC - Master(R) Gold -- Southern Pacific #6909, Low Nose

The 2500-horsepower EMD SD35, and its passenger version SDP35, was designed for hauling heavy loads at speed. Built in the 1960s by the ElectroMotive Division (EMD) of General Motors, this six-axle road switcher was popular; approximately 360 units were built in a relatively short period between 1964 and 1966. These locos feature six driven axles; diecast chassis, fuel tank, pilots and trucks; directional headlights and markers; separately applied grab irons and handrail stanchions; twin motors with flywheels; fan and grille detail; scale windshield wipers; flat or raised dust bin where appropriate; and snow plow as appropriate for each roadname. These detailed locos now include an operating smoke unit. This hefty engine weighs six pounds and is approximately 16" long. The locomotive is equipped with Lionel(R) TrainMaster(TM) Command Control featuring RailSounds(TM) digital sound system. RailSounds operates in both conventional and command modes. <
