In 1963, the 5000 h.p., 88-foot DD 35 by GM’s Electro Motive Division was completed. This mammoth “double diesel” represented a significant turning point in railroading history as many railroads shifted out of the turbine era and committed more fully, to a modern age of diesel-electrics. Initially a demonstration train unit of two GP35 and two DD 35 engines toured the country on the rails, decorated in an eye-catching red and white scheme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth Southern Pacific and Union Pacific purchased a number of the massive engines, and at Union Pacific’s request, EMD redesigned the engine as a DD 35A complete with a cab and a narrow nose at the front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoining the prototypical Union Pacific DD 35A, new DD 35A roadnames are being offered now added to the roster, realistically decorated in“what-if” schemes which show off in spectacular fashion how classic railroad decoration might have looked on this special diesel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eLEGACY Control System equipped – able to run in Legacy Control mode, in TrainMaster Command Control mode, or in Conventional mode with a standard transformer\u003cbr\u003eOdyssey II Speed Control with On\/Off switch\u003cbr\u003eLEGACY RailSounds sound system featuring: \u003cbr\u003e-CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements, each with different scenarios depending on whether the locomotive is in motion or stopped\u003cbr\u003e-Six official railroad speeds with CrewTalk dialog \u003cbr\u003e-Eight diesel RPM levels\u003cbr\u003e-LEGACY Real-Time Quilling Horn control with instant quilling and correctly timed warning signals\u003cbr\u003e-Single hit or continuous mechanical bell sounds\u003cbr\u003eDual powerful maintenance-free motors with momentum flywheels\u003cbr\u003eRefined Conventional Transformer Control mode with lower starting speeds\u003cbr\u003eFront and rear ElectroCouplers\u003cbr\u003eTraction tires\u003cbr\u003eSmokestack output from two separate stacks\u003cbr\u003eFan-driven smoke unit\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable smoke output in LEGACY Control or TMCC mode\u003cbr\u003eDirectional lighting, including LED headlights and operating marker lights\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated cab interior\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast metal trucks, pilot, and fuel tank\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast metal frame\u003cbr\u003eSeparately applied metal details\u003cbr\u003eEngineer and conductor figures\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Length: Approx. 22”\u003cbr\u003eMinimum Curve: O-42 \/O-54 Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
