CV chart included in the box
Union Pacific was the largest buyer of the
SD90MAC with 309 units total; the railroad designation was SD9043AC as they
were delivered with the 710G engine rated at 4300hp. Taking delivery of the
first locomotives in 1995 and the last in 1999; originally numbered in the 8000
series, these locomotives were renumbered in 2012 and some are still in service
today. 3681 is one of only a few SD90MACs to receive the flag paint
scheme.
Introduced in 1995, the EMD SD90MAC was
intended to become that builder’s most-powerful single-engine diesel
locomotive. The new locomotive was to use EMD’s newly-developed 265H prime
mover, featuring 6000 horsepower. However, this engine was experiencing
technical problems in development, which led to the first groups of locomotives
being delivered with the EMD 710G prime mover of 4300 horsepower (the intent
being to retrofit these with the more-powerful 265H at a later date).
Ironically, the technical problems with the 265H were never fully resolved, and
no conversions were done. The 710G-engined SD90MACs outlasted their later 265H
cousins in service by a wide margin, with some units only recently having been
retired or sold by Union Pacific, and other railroads choosing to rebuild them
for continued service.
The Athearn Genesis 2.0 SD90MAC features
all of the cutting-edge detail and operational features that are expected by
discerning modelers: Working number boards and ground lights, see-through
steps, numerous separately-applied details on the body and underframe, and a
heavy die-cast frame for massive pulling power.
