the sd80mac was one of the most known and legendary EMD SD series out there, with a big 5500 hp out of the factory with a big EMD 20-710G3B, it was the only most modern locomotive equipped with a v20 engines, sad thing EMD knew only how to make their 2 strokes engine back then, imagine if EMD did make em 4 strokes, the power would be extreme since already it can make up to 5500 hp itself, who would have known it would be a monster of the rails? sadly, the SD80MAC isnt part of the rails no more, but MARLEW brought it back with a triclops model, since EMD made a phase 1 SD60M that had a triclops cab, why not having and SD80mac that has a triclops cab?
here are specs of the SD81MACR
HP: 5800 (upgrades: overall reinforced engine, stronger turbos, upgraded electronics)
generator/alternator amps: 5800 (1)
axle config: c-c (all 6 axles powered)
max starting traction motor amps: 1000 (1)(2)
max continuous traction motor amps (1)(2)
top speed (standard/max due to gearing, in mph): 75/80 (3)
weight: 430000 lbs
prime mover: EMD/MARLEW 20-710G3D
current type: Alternating current (1)
notes:
1): AC or Alternating Current is a modern type of current used today on big freight trains, and the amps are 3 phase meaning instead of 1000 amps it is actuall 3000 amps, so to have the results it is just xxxx amps times 3, ac traction motors are less prone to burn when overheating but due to the higher current allowed to go to the traction motors, it can overheat and be damaged on this model of the locomotive, but ideal to get a heavy train moving quickly
2): the difference between starting and continuous amps is that the starting is that it can still run for a certain amount of time before it gets damaged from overheating, so it is starting power, continous is the safe amps amount the traction motors can tolerate before starting to heat too much for the blowers to have propper effects
3: the difference between top ops and gearing speed is that the ops speed is the supposed max speed the train can hit with a load while still having a bit of tractive effort due to the lower amps due to high speed, while the gearing speed is the max the traction motors can reach before breaking appart
FINAL NOTE, THIS SPECS SHEET IS A TOTALLY FICTIOUS VARIANT OF THE SD80MAC, AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THE REAL SPECS OF IT
