At 80 feet long and 6000 horse power, size is everything!!![:D][:D][;)]

I've always prefered the equally monstrous but slightly less powerful SD-80MAC(4000 HP) over the 6000HP SD-90MAC. I guess maybe my bias is because the far superior eastern roads used SD-80s :), as well as the fact that I got a very good price on a Lionel scale SD-80 :) :) :).

Still a very nice looking engine that you have there, though, Jon.

[highrailjon]

Hey Ben! Yep the SD-80 is a massive diesel as well. What road name did you get it in?

[ben10ben]

Jon,
I got a good deal on mine because the owner had stripped it and partially repainted it to Southern Pacific. I have the paint and decals to restore it to its original Conrail colors, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

Hello Spanky,

I hope you had fun with Hellina :-)

[highrailjon]

SPANKYBIRD!!!! That is one of the funniest posts I've ever seen over here[:D][:D][:D][:D] She would look terrific atop a gantry crane with her "warning lights" flashing!!!! Keep 'em coming, Jon

I really like the SD90's for sure- nice pix!

Ben-- the SD80MAC is 5000 hp, not 4000 :) still a brute though[8D]

Put these at grade crossings.People would stop for the train for sure [:D]!!!

[spankybird]

I have to agree, she would be the perfect crossing gate guard. [:D] [;)] [tup]
