As demand for higher-horsepower units and better fuel economy continued to grow in the late 1970s, EMD began testing a new six-axle model in 1979, which entered production as the SD50 in 1981. Like the prototype, this locomotive is a great addition to your railroad's fleet of heavy diesel road units. The WalthersMainline SD50 has the features you want to make it a star performer on your layout!\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOne time run of these road numbers, order now - limited quantity available!\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePrototypes in main line, regional and lease-fleet service from 1984 to the present\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eUpdated power trucks with HT-C sideframes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOpen grating on steps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePhase Two body shell with molded drill starter points for grab irons in EMD SD50-60 Diesel Detail Kit (910-256) sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eCorrect size RP-25 metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eEquipped with ESU sound and DCC for use on DCC and DC layouts featuring:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e4 Function outputs with brightness control by CV\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eFully DCC compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e14, 28, 128 speed steps\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eDual-mode DC-DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e4 Air horns changeable by CVs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e2 Bells changeable by CVs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSame powerful drive as WalthersProto(R) locos featuring:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e5-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e14:1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHelical-cut gears for quiet operation and easy multiple unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive and electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eDual machined brass flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eConstant and directional LED headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nPLEASE NOTE: When operating Walthers-branded DCC-equipped locomotives in DC mode, do not use power packs that exceed an 18V rating.
