In turbocharged engines, exhaust gases are used to power a turbine that increases cylinder air pressure, thus effectively increasing horsepower. In fact, the 16-cylinder model 567 diesel that produced 1800 horsepower in the normally aspirated SD18 locomotive was upgraded to 2400 horsepower in the turbocharged SD24. Turbocharged engines also run better at varying altitudes, making them ideal for railroads that travel through changing terrain. Look on the left side of the SD24's hood for the semicircular bulge that marks the location of the turbine. The SD24s were close relatives of the popular GP-series engines. The primary difference was that SD-series (for \"Special Duty\") locomotives were lengthened to make room for three-axle, three-motor trucks. For a GP and an SD engine of the same horsepower, the extra wheels on an SD locomotive gave it more tractive effort at low speeds and less engine weight on each axle. For this reason, the SD24 and others in the SD series were ideally suited for secondary lines with lighter rail. Last cataloged in 2002, the SD24 returns to the Premier product line in 2005 in four exciting paint schemes each outfitted with the power and performance of Proto-Sound 2.0.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures include (2) Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplers, Metal Chassis, (2) Precision Flywheel Equipped Motors, Illuminated Number Boards, Intricately Detailed ABS Body, Directionally Controlled Headlights, Die-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank, Authentic Paint Scheme, Metal Handrails and Decorative Horn, Lighted Cab Interior, Lighted Marker Lights, Spinning Roof Fans, Metal Body Side Grilles, Operating Smoke Unit, Metal Wheels, Axles and Gears, Locomotive Speed Control, (2) Cab Figures, Proto-Scale 3-2 3-Rail\/2-Rail Conversion Capable, Proto-Sound 2.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Freight Yard Proto-Effects, Unit Measures:15 3\/8\" x 2 5\/8\" x 4\", and it Operates On O-31 Curves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is Cab #448.\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.
