Designed for heavy haul freight trains, the SD60E features several upgrades includingregenerative braking and an improved traction motor alternator. This particular model, numbered 8301, is an attractive addition to any Ho scale model railroad layout.

The exterior of the locomotive boasts intricate paint schemes and decals identical to the actual 8301 unit. All the details, from the highly-detailed LED headlights and marker lights to the individually applicable end-caps and multi-step sunshades, have been reproduced faithfully. The body is die-cast and features separately applied handrails, ladders, steps, and grilles, adding to the authenticity and realism. The 3D printed, authentic-looking radiator fan grilles deliver an exceptional level of detail. Furthermore, the installation of an LED operating headlight with a miniaturized value-gear voltage regulator ensures a realistic headlight function.

The 12-cylinder 710G3 prime mover and attached to an 18-cylinder 2180-kW alternator are accurately represented with exquisite detail. The precisely painted and decorated cab exterior gives way to an impressive view of the fully painted and detailed 12-hexatic engine, complete with individual cylinder detail. The locomotive's realistically modeled front and rear trucks add to the overall operating appearance.

The cab interior is filled with intricate details, from the separately applied control stand, shifter levers, and DeWitt-Curtis air pump, to the various control panels and knobs. The cab stepladder features separately applied handrails and treads, creating an unprecedented level of detail inside this locomotive.

As with all Proto-precise 2000 locomotives, the SD60E MD (8301) comes with a five-pole, triple-shafted motors and a flywheel equipped with prototypically scaled gearing. The locomotive also features sounds recorded from the actual EMD SD60E, delivering an unparalleled realistic audio experience.
