Description
N Scale SD70M Flat Radiator (DCC Chip Factory Fitted)
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 SD40-2s to pull. The DC brother of the SD70MAC, the SD70M was primarily put to work hauling coal trains due to its high pulling capacity.
These models are 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
- Floating-axle shock-absorber design to maximize tracking and performance
- Directional Headlight and illuminated, pre-printed number boards
- Kato magnetic knuckle coupler
- DCC Friendly mechanism drop-in (decoder installed by Kato USA)
