HO SD70M Locomotive with DCC and Sound INRD #7004 (ATHG-1619)

HO scale SD70M Locomotive with DCC and Sound in INRD livery, road number 7004. This detailed, ready-to-run HO model reproduces EMD’s modern SD70M with an onboard DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound, and it runs on both DC and DCC layouts. It features a heavy die-cast frame for extra traction, RP25 wheel contours for reliable tracking on HO track, and LED lighting for realistic signaling. The cab is see-through with a fully detailed interior, and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers are Kadee-compatible. A 21-pin NEM connector simplifies DCC upgrades, while fine Celcon handrails and accurately painted INRD graphics deliver prototypical appearance. Minimum curve is 18 inches, with a 22-inch radius recommended for best performance.

INRD-specific detailing includes features like flared four-panel radiators, PTC antennas, and a K5LA horn, plus front and rear ditch lights for an authentic INRD look. The drivetrain uses a five-pole skew-wound motor, precision-machined flywheels, and a multi-link system to provide smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power, with all-wheel electrical pickup for dependable current. Weather-ready LED lighting and meticulous detailing support a realistic finish on large HO layouts, where this SD70M can operate in MU lashups or as a standout solo locomotive for modern freight roading.
