HO SD70M Locomotive with DCC and Sound, UP / Flared #4860 (ATHG71218)

HO-scale Union Pacific SD70M locomotive with DCC and sound, UP 4860, capturing UP’s late-model freight power in the distinctive flared radiator style with a white cab roof. This model reflects the early batch look with long-hood lettering, along with a GPS dome, antennas, round ditch lights, and a small front plow. It features see-through cab windows with a full interior, a two-panel flared radiator body, and late-model trucks with exposed bearings, all supported by a heavy die-cast frame for steady pulling power. Designed with a DCC-ready Quick Plug system and a 21-pin NEM connector, it’s offered in multiple UP road numbers to diversify a fleet.

Sound-equipped versions include onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds that operate on both DC and DCC, with full DCC functionality when in DCC mode. The model delivers precise slow-speed control, MU lashups with lead-unit horn and lights, and CV adjustability for customization. The drivetrain features a Genesis powertrain with a 5-pole skew-wound motor and precision flywheels for smooth, quiet operation, plus RP25-contoured wheels, Celcon handrails, and a full cab interior with see-through windows and body-mounted scale couplers. For layout planning, minimum radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) to ensure smooth operation on typical HO setups.
