Kato 176-7501 N NS Black w/White Face SD70M Diesel Locomotive #2591 with DCC LN/Box – Model Train Junction: Quality Parts and Art Supplies

Here is a Kato 176-7501 N NS Black w/White Face SD70M Diesel Locomotive #2591 with DCC. 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. These models will be equipped with all-wheel electrical pick-up and blackened metal wheels in trucks that replicate the HTCR Phase II trucks. The NS and UP versions will feature a Phase II Wide Cab and Flared Radiators. This locomotive 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 has been added to this unit.
