Item Description
Kato N 176-4015 DCC Ready EMD SD70M Locomotive w/Standard Flat Radiators Union Pacific 'Excursion Scheme' UP #4015
Silver Trucks, Green anti-glare panel on nose
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.
This UP Excursion Locomotive matches well with the Kato N 106-086 Union Pacific Excursion Train 7-Car Set, sold separately.
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.
Model Features:
Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
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 or Train Control Systems K1D4-NC
