HO SD70M Locomotive EMDX Maroon and Black #7016 (ATHG71120)

HO-scale SD70M Locomotive in EMDX maroon and black is a detailed model built for realistic operation on HO layouts and display. The solid maroon-and-black EMDX livery is faithfully captured, including a large front plow, round ditch lights, and a can-style roof antenna, plus early EMD trucks with hidden bearings. See-through cab windows reveal a full interior, while fine-scale Celcon handrails and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) enhance the scale realism. DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector simplifies digital control, and sound-equipped variants include a Tsunami2 decoder delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate in both DC and DCC modes.

Power comes from a heavy die-cast frame and a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor for smooth, quiet operation and strong pulling power. RP25 contour wheels ensure compatibility with popular HO track, while LED lighting adds to the lifelike appearance. Designed for HO layouts, it navigates minimum radii of 18 inches and is best on curves 22 inches or larger, making it well suited for realistic freight service on a wide range of layouts.
