| The
Prototype:
Between 1964 and 1966, EMD built a total of 360
six-axle 2,500 hp SD35 locomotives. An additional
35 steam generator-equipped SDP 35 locos were
also built. From the time they entered service
through the 1980's, the SD-35 was found in road
service on both large and mid-sized roads across
the US. Today, the number of SD-35's in active
service has dwindled to a select few with Montana
Rail Link now being the primary operator of this
prototype.
The Model: The
Atlas EMD SD-35 features:
dual flywheel equipped 5 pole motor, low friction
drive,
DCC ready or with factory DCC installed and blackened
metal wheels.
