#4015 will come in special "Excursion Use" paint. Unit 4015 shares its road number with one of the UP's largest locomotives, the 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy". SD70M #4015 has been used in conjunction with the 4-8-8-4 #4014 in excursion outings, and has unique paint detailing that differentiate it from other SD70Ms.
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.
Model Features:
- Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
- Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards
- Kato magnetic knuckle coupler
- DCC fitted by Kato USA with a Sound decoder
