Product Information:
The prototype for this detailed Atlas HO Scale Master Gold EMD SD35 was part of the popular 35-Series which also featured the four-axle, 2,500hp GP35 locomotive. Between 1964 and 1966, EMD built a total of 360 six-axle 2,500hp SD35 locomotives in both low and high-nose versions. An additional 35 steam generator-equipped SDP35 locomotives were also built during this period.
All locomotives included the standard EMD 567-series prime mover. A stock model weighed 360,000 pounds, but many roads chose to add weight to increase the locomotive's tractive effort. From the mid-1960s through the 1980s, the SD35 could be found in road service on both large and mid-sized roads across the US and a few remained in service into the 21st century. This detailed model features a low or high nose as appropriate, accurate decoration and roadname-specific detailing. It also features a five-pole, skew-wound motor with dual flywheels, directional LED lighting, Accumate(R) magnetic knuckle couplers, accurate decoration and other roadname-appropriate body details.
This replica comes equipped with a dual-mode ESU LokSound sound and DCC decoder for operation on DCC and DC layouts (with limited sound capabilities on in DC operation). The EMD SD35 is one of many Atlas HO Scale locomotives.
