WalthersMainline SD50 Diesels
910-20363/10363 - 20378/10378

Feel the ground shake as this week's New Product Express comes rolling in behind a new run of SD50 diesels!

Designed as a major update of EMD's Special Duty or SD-series of six-axle power, the SD50 first rolled onto the ready track in the early 1980s. With their advanced electronics, these units also offered more horsepower and improved fuel economy that made them a favorite for coal and other heavy trains. Serving over a dozen roads through the years, some are still in use today.

Like its prototype, our WalthersMainline HO models deliver outstanding performance and power with a rugged WalthersProto® drive, and will be available with ESU sound for DCC and DC layouts, or Standard DC versions. Nicely detailed with HT-C truck sideframes, revised dynamic brake intakes, anti-slip walkways and open grating on steps, they're coming in seven colorful schemes this October.
