***** Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype History:

In 1949, EMD introduced the successful GP7, a versatile "General Purpose" locomotive with improved visibility and easier maintenance over the F and BL series. Building on this, the six axle “Special Duty” SD7 and later SD9 were later introduced, offering better traction and versatility. The SD9 featured a higher horsepower rating and minor physical changes over production phases. Many were rebuilt in the 1970s to extend their service life, with some operating into the early 2000s before retirement by the Class Is, though some continue to operate on shortlines and at grain elevators.

In versions and paint schemes spanning the transition era to now, the EMD SD7 and SD9 locomotives can be at home on almost any railroad. Our Rivet Counter series model renders numerous variations of cabs, dynamic brakes, hoods, fuel and water tanks, etc. We’ve also incorporated LED lighting effects including front, rear, and side walkway lights; ground lights; printed and lighted number boards; Mars or Pyle signal light packages; and ditch lights.
