KATO 176-4015 N SD70M FLAT RADIATOR UNION PACIFIC #4015 EXCURSION VERSION
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.
Locomotive Features:
Flat Radiator body style
Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted number
boards
Illuminated ditch lights
Kato magnetic knuckle coupler
Special “Excursion” and “We Are One” road number specific
paint schemes!
