HO SD70M Locomotive LSRC #6431 (ATHG71123)

HO-scale SD70M Locomotive for Lake State Railway (LSRC 6431) is a meticulously detailed model that captures the power and character of the prototype. This unit features a small front plow, round deck-mounted ditch lights, and a PTC antenna array, along with late-model EMD trucks with exposed bearings. The cab is see-through with a full interior, and a heavy die-cast frame provides solid weight and traction on the rails. Accurately painted to LSRC’s bright livery, the model includes fine Celcon handrails and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers that are Kadee-compatible, plus LED lighting for a realistic on-layout presence.

Designed for HO layouts, this SD70M runs smoothly on mid- to large-radius tracks, with a minimum radius of 18 inches (22 inches recommended). It features a Genesis driveline with a 5-pole skew-wound motor, precision flywheels, and a multi-link drivetrain for quiet, reliable operation, plus all-wheel electrical pickup and RP25-contoured wheels for compatibility with popular brands. DCC-ready Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with a 21-pin NEM connector enables easy digital control, and LED lighting provides a lifelike look. Sound-equipped variants add onboard DCC decoder with Tsunami2 sound, operable in both DC and DCC modes, with full DCC functionality and CV customization, including MU lashups and tunable engine, horn, and bell sounds.
