Prototype Information:


Introduced in 1992, EMD SD70M was a 4000 horsepower locomotive that ran on
EMD's new steerable truck design, known as the HTCR-II radial truck. This
new truck allowed the locomotive to transfer its power to the rails more
efficiently, which in turn enabled two SD70M locomotives to pull a train
that would have taken 3 SD40-2's to pull. The DC brother of the SD70MAC, the
SD70M was primarily put to work hauling coal
trains
due to its high pulling capacity.


Model Information:


These models will be equipped with all-wheel electrical pick-up and
blackened metal wheels in trucks that replicate the HTCR Phase II trucks.
The NS and UP versions will feature a Phase II Wide Cab and Flared
Radiators.


Model Features:


  • Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels

  • Floating-axle shock-absorber design to maximize tracking and performance

  • Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards

  • Kato magnetic knuckle coupler

  • DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation

  • Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN163K1C, Digitrax
