While none of the convertible SD90MAC (SD9043MAC) were ever upgraded as intended with this 6000 hp power plant, a slightly different car-body was introduced with the SD90MAC-H to house this powerhouse. The Phase 1 version shares the same safety cab as the SD80MAC and SD90MAC, but refinements in engine cooling was required for the 256H resulted in the most visible difference, a sloped hood above the prime mover. Ultimately railroads lost interest in the race for the most horsepower and with more stringent emissions regulations, the reign of the 256H prime mover was ending. A total of 22 SD90MAC-H Phase 1 locomotive were produced, all for the Union Pacific. Production began in 1996 and lasted until Phase 2 SD90MAC began in 1999, with all 22 locomotives scrapped by 2009 at the end of their lease. One locomotive, EMDX #8204 wore a unique demonstrator scheme in honor of GM\/EMD's 75th Anniversary and was seen proudly on display at their 1997 La Grange, Illinois open house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Athearn Genesis 2.0 SD90MAC-H 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive Blue, Teal, White and Black paint scheme celebrating EMD's 75th Anniversary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting capacitors mounted under the walkway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new model previously only available in brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately-painted and –printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee through cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSander lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp; breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, and precision machined flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGENESIS 2.0 FEATURES:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy integrating and pioneering some of the latest model advancements in the industry, Athearn is redefining model fidelity with Genesis 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched, see-through walkway steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC+Sound models feature dual Sugarcube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual cube speakers for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC: Equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND: Tsunami2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: EMD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxles: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIGHTED: LED Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Age Recommendation: 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs Assembly Required: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354135761109,"sku":"ATHG27319","price":309.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g27319-ho-scale-emd-sd90mac-h-emd-demonstrator-emdx-8204-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1641147019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-2-0-g27319-ho-scale-emd-sd90mac-h-emd-demonstrator-emdx-8204-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
