SD-9 diesel engine with Proto-Sound 3.0, Norfolk Southern. Engine number: 55. In the General Motors' Electro-Motive Division time line, 1954 holds significance for two important events. In that year, the manufacturer produced its 15,000th locomotive and introduced the 1,750-h.p. SD9. The road switcher was produced until 1959. Basically an elongated - and, some might say, handsomer - version of EMD's very popular GP9, the SD9 spread the same horsepower over two additional axles, resulting in a lower loading on each axle. This made the engine more suitable for use on light rail and in situations requiring power at low speeds, such as hump yard service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RailKing Scale model of the SD9 is built to 1\/48th scale proportions and is thus somewhat larger than typical RailKing diesels. O gauge operators looking for scale proportioned locomotives will find durable, yet well detailed, RailKing Scale models to be an excellent alternative to more expensive O scale diesels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid You Know?\u003cbr\u003eA special version of the SD9, the SD9s, was a lightweight locomotive used primarily for branchline service.\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 horn\u003cbr\u003eTwo engineer cab figures\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic paint scheme\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels, axles and gears\u003cbr\u003eTwo remote controlled Proto-Couplers\u003cbr\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 lighting\u003cbr\u003eDirectionally controlled constant voltage LED headlights\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eTwo precision flywheel-equipped motors\u003cbr\u003eOperating smoke unit\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC receiver\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003e1:48 scale proportions\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: Freight yard Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 16 x 2 3\/4 x 4\u003cbr\u003eOperates on O-31 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiesel DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight\u003cbr\u003eBell\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/Horn\u003cbr\u003eStart up\/Shut down\u003cbr\u003eRear coupler\u003cbr\u003eFront coupler\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eSound volume\u003cbr\u003eDitch lights auto\/on\/off\u003cbr\u003eForward signal\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing signal\u003cbr\u003eCab light on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended start up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut down\u003cbr\u003eRev up\u003cbr\u003eRev down\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003eOne-shot Doppler\u003cbr\u003eFeature reset\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 1\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 2\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 3\u003cbr\u003eBrakes auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eCab chatter auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eClickety-clack auto\/off\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.
