Kato N 176-7611-LS-DMW with DCC/ESU LokSound V5 EMD SD70M 'Flat Radiator' Southern Pacific SP #9804

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.

FULLY LOADED by Duford Model Works exclusively for Lombard Hobbies:

Model Features:

• Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
• Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted number boards
• Kato magnetic knuckle coupler
• Equipped with all-wheel electrical pick-up and blackened metal wheels in trucks that replicate the HTCR Phase II trucks
• Exclusive DCC/ESU LokSound V5 model from Duford Models**

**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.
