Bulletin: Athearn SD60E (FT)

Manufacturer: Athearn, Item number: 95472, Version: V1 R1

Equipped with ESU "FULL THROTTLE" features!

This file was made SPECIFCALLY for the Athearn SD60E and is function mapped for their lighting.
This sound file was recorded from a real SD60E locomotive.

The SD60E program was designed to upgrade 1980's SD60s with current electronic controls and crash-worthiness upgrades in Norfolk Southern's Juniata shops in Altoona PA.

The rebuilds receive a Tier 0+ 16-710G3B prime mover rated at 4,000 hp, compared to the standard SD60's 3,800 hp. Along with the HP upgrade they also recieved all new wiring and EMD's EM2000 microprocessor controls. These new controls altered the notching slightly in these rebuilt locomotives.

This ESU Sound file will operate like the prototype in terms of throttle notching. You will notice there is low and high idle, and once above notch 3 and back to Idle the prime mover will stay up in high idle for a period of time. Once in low idle throttling up to notch 1 or notch 2 and return to idle will stay in low idle.
