The SD39 had 2,300 hp from a turbocharged V12. The SD39 had the smallest prime mover of the SD locomotives in the EMD catalog. 54 were built for American railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page is based on the copyrighted Wikipedia article \"EMD SD39\"; it is used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA).

They were used for heavy switching duties between Long Beach and West Colton, sometimes venturing off to other areas. Two of the numbers offered (5296 and 5298) were renumbered units to avoid conflict with similar numbered Rio Grande SD45's. They were assigned UP numbers, but were all retired before they could be renumbered. All 3 numbers feature unique faded paint and lettering effect per unit number, working beacon with DCC, large ballast boxes, removed gyralights, modified L-Window cab, rear brake wheel, roof mounted bell, large front plow, and P-3 horn. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROAD NUMBER SPECIFIC FEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#5298\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEx SP 5317\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehi\/low brake mounted trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elate inertial grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efaded white lettering effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epatched numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSD39 SERIES LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied air tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etch stainless steel windshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-sound version features 21-pin NEM DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through dynamic brake and radiator fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved radiator fan grab iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame-mounted bell (unless noted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed 4000 gallon fuel tank (unless different capacity is noted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexicoil-C trucks with high or low brake cylinders (per prototype)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle spring couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-directional LED lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-pole motor with flywheels and multi-link drivetrain for trouble-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed, injection molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended radius: 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOUND EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard Econami sound decoder by Soundtraxx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine startup sound sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic brake sound or Non-Dynamic Straight to idle on F4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra prime mover and horn sounds exclusive to Athearn \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSounds recorded from a real EMD 12-645E3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple bell sound files user configurable via Configuration Value (CV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent Slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent Keeper ready with on board expansion plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating lighting functions with F5 and\/or F6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via CV changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRIMED FOR GRIME MODELS FEATURE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuplicated look and feel of \"In Service\"equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaded base colors matched to the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect starting point for adding grime and rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ATHEARN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43726364836065,"sku":"210000105333","price":209.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/8993\/products\/3a3d2ee141c84ae390e4d04beec8886a.jpg?v=1680814562","url":"https:\/\/www.tammieshobbies.com\/products\/copy-of-ho-grimed-sd39-dccr-sp-5316","provider":"Tammies Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
