HO GEN EMD SD70ACU Locomotive CP Strathcona's Horse #7030 (ATHG-1151)

HO-scale Canadian Pacific EMD SD70ACU locomotive in Strathcona's Horse livery No. 7030 is a ready-to-run model that brings CP’s modern freight power to HO-scale layouts, accurately capturing the look and markings of the unit.

Designed for authentic operation, this Genesis diesel features illuminated truck lights and number boards, see-through air intakes, a full cab interior, windshield wipers, and walkways, along with fine Celcon handrails and wire grab irons for a lifelike appearance. The drivetrain uses a Genesis 5-pole skew-wound motor with precision flywheels and a multi-link drive for smooth, quiet performance, backed by eight-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable power on HO track. Wheels with RP25 contours ensure compatibility with popular HO brands, and a heavy die-cast frame provides traction. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, with LED lighting and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers. DCC-ready variants use Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors, while sound-equipped versions add onboard DCC decoding with SoundTraxx Tsunami2, dual cube speakers, full DCC functionality, and CV-adjustable features guided by an included CV chart; engine, horn, and bell sounds operate in both DC and DCC modes. The paint and lettering faithfully reproduce prototype schemes for CP 7030 and its Strathcona's Horse heritage.
