Through its history EMD has also designed many models that never left the drafting board with notable examples being the SD30, GP50T, and DD40A. There have also been rare models that were built and tested, but resulted in barely, if any orders like the SD45X, SD60MAC, and this model, the SD89MAC. While ultimately unsuccessful in sales, these models did advance technology. The SD45X was a test bed of the Dash 2 electronics. The SD60MAC refined alternating current used in the popular SD70MAC. The SD89MAC was EMDs planned replacement for aging SD70s and the technology contained within evolved into the SD70ACe-T4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMD historical will subtract one digit from a model number to represent a 12-cylinder version of that model. While SD90MAC-H was built in the quest for a 6000hp locomotive with the twin turbo 16-cylinder 265H motor, the SD89MAC is the 12-cylinder, 4500hp version of that locomotive. By the time that EMD solved the early issues with the four stroke 265H motor, railroads had lost interest in high horsepower locomotives. The more fuel efficient 12 cylinder with the addition of a third turbocharger, being re-named instead of the 265mm cylinder bore to the 1,010 cubic inch displacement, became the 1010J motor used in today’s Tier-4 locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing built from many of the same components and configurations as an SD90MAC, only a few modifications were required for Athearn to accurately depict this unique locomotive and join the stable of SD90 derivatives Athearn is already offering. While the single example of the SD89MAC still exists today, it no longer has the same appearance as it has served as a test bed for additional technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber trainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched see-through steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit Number Boards \u0026amp; Truck Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSander lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\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\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\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, and breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain for trouble free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and 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\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately-painted and –printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18” — Recommended radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44678957039829,"sku":"ATHG1051","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/athearn-genesis-g1051-ho-scale-emd-sd89mac-electro-motive-division-emdx-92-dc.jpg?v=1695226037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-g1051-ho-scale-emd-sd89mac-electro-motive-division-emdx-92-dc","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
