MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS

Priced at $1.25 million in 1984, the EMD SD60 roared onto the scene with its "Super Series" adhesion control and powerful 3,800 horsepower engine that generated up to 120,000 pounds of tractive effort. Derived from the popular SD45 series, the SD60, like its SD50 sibling added dynamic brakes in a new location - just behind the cab. This unique location for the brakes gave engine spotters an indentifying mark to distinguish SD50/60s from other SD engines. The only way to distinguish a 50 from a 60 however was to count doors. The SD60 had eight compared to the six found on the SD50. Double-heading your RailKing Scale SD60 with a non-powered "dummy" unit has never been easier. Outfitted with smooth rolling die-cast metal trucks, the non-powered SD60 is a great way to expand your set for added realism. Did You Know? The SD60's horn was originally located just above the engineer's cab but was relocated between the exhaust stack and front radiator fan.
