		EMD is perhaps the best locomotive seller ever, selling about 60% of all locomotives.
		It was merged with Winton Engine Co in 1930; and called EMD in 1941 when it became a division of General Motors.
		Other EMD ACs were the SD80MAC, and the SD90MAC, a 6000 HP beast of a locomotive.

		The EMD SD70 was a series of diesel-electric locomotives produced by General Motors Electro-Motive Division from 1992 to December 2005.
		All locomotives of this series are hood units with C-C trucks.
		All SD70 models up to the SD70ACe and SD70M-2 have the HTCR Radial truck, rather than the HT-C truck; the self-steering radial truck was designed to allow the axles to steer in curves, reducing wear on the wheels and railhead.

		Then in 1972 EMD came up with the "Dash 2" system that is more or less several upgrades at one time...inproved eletrical controls in the cabinet, use of the AR10 altanator and on the SD series sightly different truck design.
		EMD rebuilt a microprossor SD40 in the late 1990s, it was painted in the current EMD scheme of "wine and silver" paint and numbered 2000 (there is a photo of it on this site).
		EMD was never able to sell the model to Class 1 railroads since companys like Morrison-Knudson VMV basically had the market in their respective corners.

		EMD followed its successful wartime production of the FT with a heavy commitment to the F-type unit after World War II.
		Here are some basic dimensions from my collection of EMD fabrication prints with regards to the discussion of lowering models, modifying frames and or building same.
		Torpedo boats are EMD geeps with the airtanks in pairs along the edge of the long hood, rather than crosswise under the frame next to the fuel tank.

		The other odd model EMD produced was the DD series, which had DD trucks (4 axles, 4 traction motors per truck) These were double ended diesels, and were roughly like 2 engines put together in one.
		In the case of EMD AC locomotives, the wheels have to be matched within each truck, since all axles in each truck are powered by a separate inverter.
		Further, GE and EMD seem to both be able to sell their locomotives at about the same price, so railroads are not voting for one system over the other with their purchase dollars.

	EMD SD50 at AllExperts
		The EMD SD50 was a 3,500 hp (2,600 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division.
		The SD50 was in many respects a transitional model between EMD's Dash 2 series which ran from the early 1970s, especially the successful SD40-2 and the later high power SD60 and SD70 locomotives.
		While EMD's SD40-2 was a reliable and trusted product, GE's line included locomotives up to 3,600 hp (2,700 kW) with more modern technology, as well as very competitive finance and maintenance deals.

		The EMD E8A is a classic passenger Cab unit which was found at the head of the most important passenger trains of the 1950's and 1960's.
		The EMD E8B is a classic passenger without Cab unit which was found as the helper of the most important passenger trains of the 1950's and 1960's.
		The EMD SD70M, this is a modern 4,000 HP diesel-electric locomotive, it is most effective pulling heavy loads over long stretches at slow speeds.

	Hood unit at AllExperts
		The low long hood was retained, though its increased length made visibility over it useless.
		Later, EMD introduced the GP7, which had a similar layout, though both hoods were as high as the cab roof.
		The high long hood became standard for virtually all hood unit locomotives thereafter.

	HO Locomotive Shell Survey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The EMD slant-nose E's were used by many railroads, and the 3, 4, and 6 being nearly identical will allow a good model with a few optional parts to cover a lot of ground.
		A Rail Power quality shell would be a nice addition to their line, because this is a relatively straightforward EMD design and there are tons of parts from Cannon, Detail Associates, and others which could be used to make a first rate model.
		Seriously, the GP-59 looks similar to the GP-60, yet there are many external differences that make it much differrent and difficullt to kitbash.

	The Best EMD Had to Offer
		Rio Grande SD50 #5517 (built by EMD in September 1984) and Union Pacific SD60 #6010 (built by EMD in April 1986) were the modern EMD power of the day in the mid-1980's.
		For the most part, EMD's GP50 and SD50 series were largely prone to mechanical failure.
		Seriously though, I know they were prone to a lot of small electronic and cpu problems, but the prime mover has been pretty reliable here in the last nearly ten years.

	Atlas Model Railroad Co. Product Review
		The nose and side logos of the EMD Demo units are nicely done, as is the thin fl stripe separating the main blue and white colors.
		The EMD logo on each side of the locomotives should be taller and almost touch the bottom edge of the radiator grills, and the jack pads should be painted blue, not fl.
		Both the EMD and the Soo Line models will need the vertical portion of handrails located in the step areas to be painted white to better match their respective prototypes.

	MTH Electric Trains (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In 1992, GM's Electro-Motive Division (EMD) introduced the new SD70 Series of engines, which come in the standard direct-current (DC) and alternating-current (AC) models.
		The 70 Series also employs the HTCR (high-traction three-axle radial) truck that reduces rolling resistance in curves and lateral loads and therefore reduces wear on wheels.
		EMD estimates this will increase wheel life by 20 percent.

		A: For years it was the SD40 series.
		These and their MP15 series cousins have always been good performers.
		So you would take that 645 or 710 number and multiply it by the total number of cylinders on that particular model of locomotive to equate the total cubic inch displacement of the diesel engine.

		The addition of the small fuel tank is great, and the two versions of the EMD trucks is a nice touch.
		The model is DCC accessible, but like Athearn’s SD70 you can put in a drop-in decoder but you need to wire it to the motor.
		With the Athearn SD70 series the earlier three pole motors took a drop in Digitrax board.

		The majority of the SD70MACs were powered by the 4,000 horsepower EMD 710 prime mover.
		The MAC model of the SD70 series utilizes AC traction motors as opposed to the DC motors of the SD70, SD70M, SD70I and SD70M-2 models.
		Unfortunately the draw back to the simpler and more reliable AC motors are the much more expensive inverters needed to produce the variable frequency AC signal.

		Rail executives from Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. (EMD) and two Class I Railroads who witnessed the field tests were very impressed with both the reliability and ease of use of the new design, according to Lenny Wedge, manager of engineering.
		The brake was later installed on two (2) EMD SD70 locomotives and a NS GE Dash 9 locomotive as well.

	SOO SD60 6042 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Although SOO has officially been absorbed by CP, these units remain separate due to the conflict of their 6000 number series with the last of the CP SD40-2s.
		So on the SD80, SD90 and later, the dynamic brake is at the rear of the long hood, behind the radiator.
		As a matter of interest, SOO SD60s 6000-6020 were manufactured in 1987 by EMD of LaGrange, Illinois, but units 6021 and up (manufactured in 1989) were made by GMD in London, Ontario, following centralization of GM locomotive manufacturing there.
