ATLAS (HO SCALE) SD-35
LOCOMOTIVES
Between 1964 and 1966, EMD built a total of 360 six-axle 2,500hp
SD35 locomotives. An additional 35 steam generator-equipped
SDP35 locomotives were also built during this period. These
were all part of EMD’s “35-Series” which also featured the four-axle,
2,250hp GP35 locomotive. All locomotives included the standard
EMD 567-series prime mover. A stock model weighed 360,000 pounds,
but many roads chose to add weight to increase the locomotive’s
tractive effort. From the mid-1960s through the 1980s, the SD-35
could be found in road service on both large and mid-sized roads
across the US. Today the number of active units has dwindled
to a select few, including those operated by regional railroad
Montana Rail Link.
Atlas’ model incorporates many of the subtle details that
differentiated the various SD-35 production phases. This includes
the detail of the engine air intake, dust bin, radiator screens,
radiator fans, fuel tanks and battery boxes. Other options include
a low vs. high nose, and a low nose with our without a standard-style
headlight.
