Walthers Proto HO 920-49953 DCC Ready EMD E9A Locomotive 'City of San Francisco' Milwaukee Road MILW #205C

Here's the finishing touch for your flagship streamliner, the WalthersProto EMD E9. Introduced in 1954 with the more powerful 567C prime mover, with only minor exterior changes from earlier E8 Diesels. Handling premiere passenger train, several later went to work for Amtrak with others reassigned to commuter and fast freight service. As the last of their kind, several E9s have since been preserved.

**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.
