HO SD70M Locomotive with DCC and Sound, INRD 7003 (ATHG-1618)

HO-scale SD70M Locomotive with DCC & Sound in INRD livery is a detailed modern freight model designed for HO layouts, delivering the power and presence of a contemporary locomotive. This sound-equipped version includes an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, offering authentic engine, horn, and bell audio in both DC and DCC operation with full DCC functionality on a DCC layout. Built around a heavy die-cast frame and Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, it provides smooth, quiet traction and strong pulling power, with prototype-accurate painting and printing, see-through cab windows with a full interior, LED lighting, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible).

Details mirror the prototype with RP25 wheel contours for reliable running on popular tracks, a detailed fuel tank, walkways, fine-scale handrails, wire grab irons, sanding lines, and windshield wipers. All-wheel electrical pickup helps maintain steady current, and the DCC-ready Quick Plug wiring with a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies decoder upgrades. Designed for HO radii (minimum 18 inches, 22 inches recommended) and featuring a weathering-ready finish, this INRD variant offers authentic cues for a well-used, proto-freelance roster or a dedicated INRD lineup on modern freight layouts.
