HO SD70M Locomotive CSX YN2 #4698 (ATHG71116)

HO SD70M Locomotive CSX YN2 #4698 is an HO-scale model that reproduces a CSX-leased EMD SD70M unit in the distinctive YN2 livery. Formerly part of EMDX's lease fleet, this road-number-specific locomotive features CSX colors and artwork, round EMD-style ditch lights, and a Nathan P-3 horn. The #4698 variant is depicted with a white cab roof and the front plow removed to match its prototype configuration.

On the layout, this SD70M captures scale details and provides dependable performance: see-through cab windows with a full interior, fine-scale Celcon handrails, walkways, sand lines, and LED lighting for a realistic appearance; detailed fuel tank and breather pipes; coupler cut levers, flexible Trainline and MU hoses, MU stands; heavy die-cast frame; Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor; all-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup; RP25 wheel contours for compatibility with popular HO track; body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee. DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector enables easy decoder upgrades; sound-equipped versions feature an onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound that works in DC and DCC, with full NMRA-compatible functions and CV changes (CV chart included). Minimum radius is 18 inches, with 22 inches recommended for the best performance on tighter curves.
