HO SD70M Locomotive INRD #7008 (ATHG-1599)

HO SD70M Locomotive in INRD livery, numbered 7008, is a detailed HO-scale model designed to bring the power and presence of a modern freight locomotive to your layout. This rendition captures the SD70M’s robust profile with a heavy die-cast frame, see-through cab interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, and LED lighting for realistic daytime and nighttime operation. It’s built to run on both DC and DCC layouts, and sound-equipped versions include an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds.

Under the shell, a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain delivers smooth, quiet power and strong pulling capability. The model uses RP25-contoured wheels for reliable tracking on common HO track, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) for prototypical operation. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies digital upgrades, while LED lighting and a full cab interior add to the realism. The INRD variant sits among a broader lineup that includes Legendary Liveries and assorted road-name schemes, with prototype-focused details such as front ditch lights, fuel tanks, PTC antennas, and more. Minimum operating radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for best performance.
