It was equipped with a V12 12-645E engine sporting a Roots blower. The length was either 47 ft 8 in (14.53 m) or 48 ft 8 in (14.83 m) depending on the build date.[1] The early MP15 and the SW1500 were similar in appearance and applications. They were fitted with the same engine in a similar appearance. The primary difference is the MP15's standard Blomberg B trucks.[1] DevelopmentSwitchers up to the SW1500 had been restricted to AAR type A switcher or Flexicoil lightweight trucks, both with a 96 in (2,438 mm) wheelbase. In 1973 60 special order Mexico-only SW1504s were built on a slightly longer frame, allowing EMD's standard Blomberg B trucks, with a 108 in (2,743 mm) wheelbase, to be used. In EMD's eyes (among others) this made the new locomotive a road switcher rather than a pure switcher, since it was capable of road speeds up to 60 mph (97 km/h) or so. The new model MP15DC designation thus meant Multi-Purpose locomotive, 1500 hp, DC generator. Originally the locomotive was simply designated the MP15; the arrival of the alternator/rectifier MP15AC in 1975 changed the name. With the success of the MP15, there was a demand for a model with an advanced AC drive system. The MP15AC replaced the MP15DC's DC generator with an alternator producing AC power which is converted to DC for the traction motors with a silicon rectifier. The MP15AC is 1.5 ft (457 mm) longer than an MP15DC, the extra space being needed for the rectifier equipment. The alternator-rectifier combination is more reliable than a generator, and this equipment became the standard for new diesel-electric locomotive designs. The MP15AC is easily distinguished from the DC models. Instead of the front-mounted radiator intake and belt-driven fan used on all previous EMD switchers, these have intakes on the lower forward nose sides and electric fans. Side intakes allowed the unit to take in cooler air, and the electric fans improved a serious reliability issue found in its earlier DC sisters.[3][4][5] The unit is highly detailedLOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: Full cab interior - Wire grab irons - Coupler cut levers - See-through cab windows - Flexible rubber trainline hose - Flexible rubber MU hoses - Windshield wipers - Lift rings - Blomberg-B trucks - Sander lines - Directional constant lighting - Walkway Tread - Fine scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance - Headlight brightness remains constant - Separately applied photo-etched metal and injection molded detail parts - Detailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, breather pipes - Accurately-painted and –printed paint schemes - McHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible - Fully-assembled and ready-to-run - Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more - Genesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain - All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth & quiet operation - All-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow - Wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track - Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power - Packaging securely holds model for safe storage - Replacement parts available - Minimum radius: 18" NEW FEATURES: Operating ditch lights (if equipped) - Operating ground lights - Newly designed motor is more powerful and quieter than before - DCC & sound models feature Tsunami sound with dual cube speakers SOUND EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATUREOnboard Tsunami DCC/Sound decoder - Dual cube speakers for optimal sound quality - Sound units operate in both DC and DCC - Engine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC - Some functions are limited in DC - All functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode - Excellent low-speed operation - Operating lighting functions with F5 and/or F6 (Flashing ditch lights, beacon, etc) - Program a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights - Many functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes - CV chart included in the box " These have been highly sought after Units " VERY HARD TO FIND ITEM THIS IS AN ASSEMBLED READY-TO-RUN TSUNAMI SOUND EQUIPPED DCC LOCOMOTIVE The item is NEW in the original box from old stock We do combine shipping on multiple purchases.
