Kato 176-1616 N Scale - SD70M DC/Silent (DCC Ready) Flat Radiator Union Pacific #1616 "Abraham Lincoln"

Note: Pictures are representations, exact road numbers may not be shown. 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 number boards Kato magnetic knuckle coupler DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN147K1C or Train Control Systems K1D4-NC
