This Conrail SD50 #6792 features Proto-Sound 3.0 technology and represents one of the most extensively tested locomotives in EMD's 50-year history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the SD50 Prototype\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEMD's \"50 Series\" diesel locomotives of the mid-1980s were the product of the most extensive testing in the company's 50-year history. Both the four-axle, four-motor GP50 and the six-axle, six-motor SD50 utilized a new control system that substantially increased hauling capacity and reduced engine noise levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3500 hp SD50 measured just 30\" longer than the SD40-2 it replaced but differed substantially in appearance. Gone were the front and rear \"porches\" of the SD40-2 and the dynamic brake blisters on the sides of its hood. Under the SD50's longer hood, the dynamic brakes, which generate a lot of heat, were relocated from a position over the hot engine to a cleaner, cooler area just behind the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD50 also introduced EMD's new \"Super Series\" control system, which included a radar unit for measuring true ground speed and electronic monitoring of the electrical equipment. A primary benefit of the new control system was its ability to maximize rail adhesion by automatically applying short bursts of sand as needed to maintain traction. The system allowed three SD50s to do the work of four older locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePremier Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectionally Controlled Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed ABS Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Wheels, Axles and Gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplers®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColorful Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Handrails and Decorative Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Precision Flywheel Equipped Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Scale 3-2 3-Rail\/2-Rail Conversion Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted Cab Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated Number Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted Marker Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Engineer Cab Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Body Side Grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Smoke Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoveable Roof Fan Blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 With the Digital Command System Featuring Freight Yard Proto-Effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Measures: 17 ¾\" x 3 ¾\" x 2 ½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On O-42 Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDiesel DCC Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadlight\/Taillight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart-up\/Shutdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassenger Station\/Freight Yard Announcements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights (except head\/tail)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade Crossing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Sequence 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Sequence 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Sequence 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Start-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Shut-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRev Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRev Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Shot Doppler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler Slack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Horn Blast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeature Reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoke On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoke Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoadname:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conrail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCab\/Car Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6792\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e O Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel\/Electric Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20-21902-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnhance your layout with complementary \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/o-scale-freight-cars\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO scale freight cars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/o-scale-track\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eO scale track\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/power-supplies\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epower supplies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e available at MPM Hobbies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTH Electric Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51589246091495,"sku":"MTH20219021","price":499.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7798\/9095\/files\/MPM_1_9b3b6a20-67b5-4825-a70b-f1e98f175bba.jpg?v=1768626610","url":"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/mth-conrail-sd50-diesel-engine-o-scale-premier-proto-sound-6792-20-21902-1","provider":"MPM Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
