MTH SD80MAC and SD90MAC's now shipping

Here is the NS version of the SD80MAC. As you can see just as beautiful as the Conrail version. One cool feature MTH added on the detail is the Radial AC logo like the ones on the Pittsburgh line and for those former Conrail fans who loved them with the marker lights they added those, too. Overall a great looking locomotive, be sure to pick one up ASAP as I'm almost sure they will run out fast. I will also plan to do a full review of these beasts as soon as I receive mine. Pics of the model and prototype below

 

No pics have been added of the SD9043MAC's yet but I'm sure we'll see them by the end of the week, I'll keep you updated.

 

 

Looking great. Yes, when you get them tested, post some pix or a video or both ...Thx!

Are these the RailKing version? My son as be asking for a Conrail engine and I have the RailKing on order.

These look great!

If you are getting the Conrail, can you post some pictures when you get it? I kind of like it.

They're Premier. We have them all in stock and on sale on our website but I have only one Conrail left. There's UP and the INRR SD90s too. 

 

The NS comes in three road numbers..... I'd like to see all three pulling together...

 

Here's the pictures of the INRR on our layout and the UP from MTH...

 

 

 

 

Yes! I got "the call" and mine will be here on about Tuesday.

I wish I ordered more.

I want them all!!!

Got my SD80Mac delivered yesterday from MrMuffin's.  Fantastic sounds and detail.  An excellent addition to my NS collection.

BigMike88, that 80MAC looks great and the lash-up is just as great. I cant wait to receive mine, can you do a video on it?

Beautiful! I really want the Conrail now!

Hey guys, just another update. MTH has posted a pic of the UP SD90MAC. It looks just as great as the SD80MAC. I'm actually considering picking one up.

 

Now if you did get one you have 2 options you can go with:

 

 The Union Pacific Version

 

 

Or customize it to the NS Patched Version, which I may consider doing.

 

 

Overall it looks like a great model and I know people are going to be absolutely in love with this model.

Way to go Michael - I will head into the back and put a post-it note on it for you!

 

LOL....

 

Steve.........

I have to admit that INDR SD9043MAC looks really good.

 I am looking forward to my NS model from Legacy Station.

When someone gets an SD80 (not a 90), could you please post a video of the sounds?

I will make a review video on my NS version when I get it later today.

here's a quick shot of the CR. I'm on the move right now. I'll try and get more before she goes for conversion to 2 rail.

Very, very nice, Engineer-Joe! 

Here are some pix of my NS SD80MAC, and it is an awesome engine.

 

And a little something I decided to lash it up with, an AC6000.

 

 

 

Video will be coming soon.

Just a quick video to start off. (took 40 minutes to load!)

I'll be back as soon as the next video loads.

Another quick video of the idle sounds. There's four defect detectors.

Thank you SubwayLover and Engineer-Joe for the pix and videos! I'm really happy MTH used the new 710 sound set and the correct Conrail horn! Although it has and e-bell I can deal with it. I really hope to pick the Conrail version up. If I do, I'll post pictures and videos.

*EDIT: The accurate defect detectors are INCREDIBLE!! I hope to get one of these in the next few days!

PghTrainFanatic put up a video with the conrail one. You should check out his YouTube channel.

Engineer-Joe, great video!

 

In fact, it was so good, I just picked up the phone and ordered the NS version from Just Trains.

Joe,

That is a good looking locomotive. I also wish that MTH offers it in 2-rail in one of their future catalogs. Would you know how much this MTH SD80MAC weighs? My MTH SD70M-2 weighed more than a comparable brass SD70ACe. Since the prototype SD80MAC is one of the longest diesel locomotives made in the recent past, I am curious about the weight of the MTH model.

Thanks,

Naveen Rajan

Thanks for the orders so far. I still have quite a few left in stock. 

Are the wheels blind on the inner wheelsets or the middle on the hi-rail version?

I don't have a great accurate low weight scale. Using a regular digital bathroom scale it weighs 6.1 lbs.

(subtracting my weight to get a reading!).

Middle ones are.

They can be swapped out easily as the engine is 3/2 with plastic removable bottoms.
