Description
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
Starting in the late 2000s, Union Pacific sent 28 SD60Ms to EMD for a rebuild program. Called SD32ECOs by EMD, the program replaced the existing 710G3A V16 prime mover with an EPA Tier-II-compliant 710G3B-T2 turbocharged V12, with electronic fuel injection. The Union Pacific SD60M carbody retained many of its major components and subassemblies, having them recycled and recertified as equal to new. EMD also installed a completely new control system which is adaptable to both minimum emissions and minimum fuel consumption modes, depending upon the specific locomotives assignment. Classified as an SD59M-2 or or SD59MX by the Union Pacific Railroad, unit numbers 9900-9927 are currently at work on the system.

What is preordering and why would I want to do that?
In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.
Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.
