Except for the placement of the class lights, the SD9 looked almost the same as the SD7 introduced in 1952. But under the hood, the new 567C prime mover delivered 1,750 horsepower. While four-axle power still dominated overall sales, the SDs were soon drawing well-deserved attention. In service, the three-axle Flexicoil trucks delivered almost twice the pulling power of their GP counterparts, proving ideal for demanding assignments in helper, yard, transfer and heavy freight service. With its weight spread over six axles, the SD9 was also well suited to lightly built routes, and many were purchased especially for branch line duties. By the time production ended in 1959, 515 SD9s were in service on over a dozen railroads. Some are still going strong after 50+ years of service!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition - One Time Run of These Engine Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Service 1954 - Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Road Specific Details as Appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundTraxx(R) Tsunami(R) Sound for DCC \u0026amp; DC Layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Die Cast Metal Underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14:1 Helical Gears for Ultra-Quiet \u0026amp; Smooth Running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Multiple Unit Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperb Paint \u0026amp; Lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Grab Irons \u0026amp; Lift Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Constant \u0026amp; Directional Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-Pole, Skew-Wound, High-Torque, High-Efficiency Can Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) Metal Knuckle Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on Phase 1 units from 1954 to 1961 with:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Hood Forward Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking \"Ash Can\" Pyle-National Signal Lights on Front \u0026amp; Rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolted\/Cast-Style Handrail Stanchions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-Color End Handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Style Uncoupling Levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLadders on Both Sides of Short Hood End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam Generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeslie S-3L Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilots w\/Footboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE\u003c\/span\u003e: Rear Handrails are broken but not missing.
