While EMD originally engineered this massive 80-foot frame to carry a 6,000-horsepower engine, design and reliability delays forced them to ship these units to Union Pacific with a smaller, highly reliable 4,300-horsepower engine instead—giving the real locomotive its unique, hybrid \"SD90/43MAC\" designation. Every major detail has been cleanly reproduced here, from the 3-fan radiator grilles on the roof to the heavy fuel tank layout and the specialized HTCR-II radial trucks used to haul massive manifests across the western United States.FEATURES:- Scale: HO Scale (1:87)- Manufacturer: Kato Precision Railroad Models- Special Edition: Kobo Custom Shop Exclusive- Roadname: Union Pacific (UP)- Road Number: #8164- Control & Sound: Factory-Installed Premium ESU LokSound DCC & Sound- Drivetrain: Coreless 5-pole motor with dual brass flywheels and all-wheel pickup- Lighting: Golden White directional LED headlights and functional ditch lightsCONDITION: Original Packaging
