HO RTR SD39 - DCC & Sound - Guilford/Boston & Maine #690

This locomotive is Primed-for-Grime!

BM FEATURES:
Built as Illinois Terminal, these SD39s were purchased by the NW before going to the Guilford. Our models represent the time period before they were painted into Guilford grey and orange. These well worn black painted units still retained their as-built features such as: battery box-mounted -gong- bell, smaller fuel tank, non DB hatch, and hi-mounted brake cylinder trucks. #690 features a very faded -Norfolk Western- lettering on the long hood.
