Prototype Information:
Introduced in 1992, EMD’s 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 three SD40-2s to pull. The NS was the second largest purchaser of the SD70M upon its introduction in 1992, buying nearly 70 locomotives to fill its rosters.
Model Features:
