Kato N Scale 176-7601 EMD SD70M CSX #4681 with Flat Radiator
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 SD40-2's to pull. The early version of this locomotive, depicted in this latest release from Kato USA, had a flat radiator rather than the flared radiators of later versions. The SD70M is a powerful locomotive, ideally suited for pulling long freight trains of Gunderson Maxi-Stack well cars or Bethgon Coalporters.
