(N)EMD SD70MAC Alaska Railroad #4015 (DCC Fitted)
Prototype Information:
The General Motors Locomotive Group (GMLG) Electro-Motive Division (EMD) SD70MAC is one of the most common locomotives plying the rails today. Originally introduced in late 1993 with an order for the Burlington Northern, the production now totals over 900 units, exceeding the combined production of the SD80MAC and SD90MAC locomotives by over 300 units.
At this time, the SD70MAC, in all of its versions, has been operated by six different railroads in a total of eight different paint schemes. The railroads that operate this locomotive span from East to West and from Mexico to Alaska!
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. (On the prototype, this truck evolved from the HT-C trucks found on the SD40-2 through SD60 and features radial steering capability). Additionally, the models will feature walkway-mounted, lighted ditch lights! Handrails will be made of a paintable material so modelers can easily add white end railings.
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

More October 🚄 news from Train Trax UK - All the latest stock updates
You may have seen my email earlier this week announcing the exciting news of our acquisition of The Model Tree Shop. As you can imagine, a lot of work has gone into making this happen, and we're still very much in the thick of it! Sorting through tens of thousands of different model trees in hundreds of boxes has been quite the adventure, and we’re still getting to grips with all the systems and processes. It's been fun, though, especially when you stumble across gems like a 9mm high Canary Island Date Palm—perfect for adding some exotic flair to your layout! If you need something specific for your next project, don't hesitate to ask; we’ve probably got you covered.
At Train Trax, we pride ourselves on being a fully online business. While we know some of our customers prefer ordering over the phone, it’s becoming harder to support. For safety, speed, and accuracy, we strongly encourage you to place orders via our website, except in special cases where this may not be possible. Our website is designed to be user-friendly, and placing your orders online ensures everything is processed smoothly.
In other exciting news, we’ve just received a massive delivery from KatoUSA! The highly anticipated SD40-2 locos and coalporter wagons have arrived, and we now have most versions in stock. If you've been waiting for the re-run of the Unitram Turnouts, good news—limited stock has also just landed, so act fast to secure yours!
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to helping you create amazing layouts with all these fantastic new products.
Warm regards,
Ian Miller

Prototype Information:
Since 1982, the BethGon Coalporter has been hauling “black diamonds” across the United States. The largest selling Coal Gondola in the world, the car’s double tub design increases hauling capacity while reducing maintenance requirements. Tubs below the car lower the center of gravity, providing a smoother ride.
Today, coal is no longer sold at the volume it once was in the United States, and many coal carrying railroad cars have sadly been left to rust. Bethgon Coalporters could transport 44,000 pounds of these “black diamonds,” a necessity for the railroad in the era of a coal-driven country; therefore, a need of recycling these cars had to be found!
Model Features:
- Coalporters: The removable coal load lets operators run full or empty between coalmine and terminal
- The shock absorber construction and low-flange metal wheels provide smooth operation
- The internal bracing of the tub, close coupling between cars and detail lettering on these cars make them look just like the real equipment
- Available in 8 car sets, making it easy for modelers to assemble long unit trains
- Designed to complement the Kato SD40-2 Mid Production, SD70ACe, and ES44AC/DC perfectly
