Kato N EMD SD70M, DCC Equipped, Southern Pacific #9820


Kato Item #: 176-7612-DCC


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

Floating-axle shock-absorber design to maximize tracking and performance

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, Digitrax DN163K1D or Train Control Systems K1D4-NC
