Athearn Genesis 2.0 HO ATHG75717 DCC Ready EMD SD70ACe Tacoma Rail TMBL #7002

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

In order to meet stricter diesel locomotive emissions standards imposed by EPA Tier II regulations, EMD modified the SD70MAC to create the SD70ACe and SD70M-2. Each model is powered by a 16-cylinder, 4300-horsepower diesel engine. On the SD70M-2, the prime mover drives an alternator and produces AC current that is rectified to DC current, which powers the traction motors. On the SD70ACe, the DC current is then 'chopped' back into AC to power the traction motors.

Tacoma Rail TMBL NOTES:

Tacoma Rail 7001 and 7002 are former EMD Demonstrator units. The road acquired the units in 2014 and painted them into this attractive red & white scheme. The pair are the most powerful units on the current TMBL roster and are often found running together or mixed with other members of TMBL’s eclectic motive power stable.

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
