SD-9043MAC diesel engine with Proto-Sound 3.0, Union Pacific. Cab numbers: 8100, 8107 \u0026amp; 8110. In the horsepower race of the 1990s - which turned out to be a passing fad - the Holy Grail became a 6000 hp diesel. But neither EMD nor GE had a prime mover capable of being upgraded to that size. As a stopgap measure, EMD added four cylinders to its proven model 710 engine to create the 5000 hp, 20 cylinder, 80 foot long SD80MAC in 1995. Conrail was the only taker, rostering all 30 units produced and later passing them on to successor CSX.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther railroads waited for EMD to deliver its all-new power plant, the 6000 hp ''H'' engine, EMD's first four-stoke diesel. When the H engine was delayed, EMD offered what was intended to be a temporary solution: its new SD90MAC locomotive, designed for the H engine but temporarily powered with a 4300 hp, 16-cylinder model 710 engine. The hybrid ''SD9043MAC'' was externally the same as the SD80MAC and sold rather well - much better than the 6000 hp version when it finally arrived. As it turned out, American railroads decided a 4300-4400 hp diesel was a more versatile building block for multiple-unit consists, and the craze for 6000 hp engines faded. The SD9043MACs were never upgraded to the H engine. Today most 6000 hp SD90MACs are gradually being withdrawn from service while the ''temporary'' 710-powered SD9043s soldier on. And while the H engine was not a great success in the United States, it has gained a foothold in China and other overseas markets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eIntricately detailed ABS body\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast truck sides, pilots and fuel tank\u003cbr\u003eMetal chassis\u003cbr\u003eMetal handrails and decorative horn\u003cbr\u003eMoveable roof fans\u003cbr\u003eMetal body side grilles\u003cbr\u003eDetachable snow plow\u003cbr\u003eTwo engineer cab figures\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic paint scheme\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels, axles and gears\u003cbr\u003eTwo remote controlled Proto-Couplers\u003cbr\u003eKadee compatible coupler mounting pads\u003cbr\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 lighting\u003cbr\u003eDirectionally controlled constant voltage LED headlight\u003cbr\u003eLighted cab interior\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eOperating ditch lights\u003cbr\u003eTwo precision flywheel equipped motors\u003cbr\u003eOperating smoke unit\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC receiver\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eProto-Scale 3-2 3-rail\/2-rail conversion capable\u003cbr\u003e1:48 scale proportions\u003cbr\u003eProto-sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: freight yard Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 20 1\/2'' x 2 3\/4'' x 3 7\/8''\u003cbr\u003eOperates on O-42 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiesel DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight\/Taillight\u003cbr\u003eBell\u003cbr\u003eHorn\u003cbr\u003eStart-up\/Shut-down\u003cbr\u003ePassenger station\/Freight yard announcements\u003cbr\u003eLights (except head\/tail)\u003cbr\u003eMaster volume\u003cbr\u003eFront coupler\u003cbr\u003eRear coupler\u003cbr\u003eForward signal\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 3\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 2\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 1\u003cbr\u003eExtended start-up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut-down\u003cbr\u003eRev up\u003cbr\u003eRev down\u003cbr\u003eOne shot doppler\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack\u003cbr\u003eSingle horn blast\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds\u003cbr\u003eBrake sounds\u003cbr\u003eCab chatter\u003cbr\u003eFeature reset\u003cbr\u003eSmoke on\/off\u003cbr\u003eSmoke volume\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.
