Atlas HO SD35 & SDP35 Locomotives

New Paint Schemes & Road Numbers!

 

(Technical artwork shown)

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.

Features Include:
-Realistic die-cast underframe
-Five-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds
-Golden-white LEDs
-Directional lighting
-Factory-equipped with AccuMate? knuckle couplers

Atlas HO 11, 000 Gallon Tank Car

New Paint Schemes & Road Numbers!

 

 

(Technical artwork shown)

Propane or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is both a naturally occurring product and a by-product of the refining process. During the 1940s, the petroleum industry began marketing LPG as a cleaner and more efficient fuel than the existing coal and oil. Transporting LPG requires specially designed high-pressure tank cars. During the early 40s the only ACF tank car that qualified was the 10,500 gallon high-pressure tank car. After the war, ACF set out to design a whole new car for the emerging industry. As a result the 11,000 gallon tank car was introduced by ACF in 1947. Many thousands were built up through the mid-1950s.

The Atlas model faithfully reproduces this late steam/early diesel era tank car in two versions (with and without platform rails). The cars with top platform rails were used where there was no elevated loading/unloading facility. The cars without the top platform rails were often specified for customers that had access to elevated loading and unloading facilities.

Features Include:
- Finely molded handrails
- Tank fittings and safety placards
- 50-ton friction-bearing trucks with AccuMate? couplers
- Accurate painting and lettering
- Platform where appropriate

AccuMate? couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.
