HO GEN SD70ACE Locomotive w/DCC & Sound, EMDX Demonstrator #GM71 (ATHG-2098)

HO-scale EMD SD70ACE diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, modeled after the EMDX Demonstrator GM71 for authentic HO layouts. This ready-to-run model captures the distinctive GM71 appearance and offers the kind of paint scheme admired by collectors and railfans alike.

Designed for realistic operation on HO track, it combines a heavy die-cast frame for traction with eight-wheel drive for smooth pulling power. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology via a 21-pin NEM connector and includes an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound plus dual speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell effects. Additional craftsmanship touches include see-through cab windows, LED lighting, a full cab interior, trainline and MU hoses, and magnetically detachable roof for easy maintenance. The model supports both DC and DCC power, with NMRA compatibility to ensure reliable integration on common HO layouts.
