HO SD70ACe Locomotive UP #8679 (ATHG75736)

HO-scale Union Pacific SD70ACe locomotive in UP livery is a ready-to-run model built to reproduce a modern mainline locomotive. It features a distinctive paint scheme with no American flag and prototype-accurate variations in hood, cab, cab roof, and headlight placement to reflect real UP units. Fully assembled and ready to operate, it’s designed for straightforward use on HO layouts and makes an authentic centerpiece for Union Pacific scenes.

Performance and detailing include eight-wheel drive on a heavy die-cast frame for strong traction, see-through cab windows, a full cab interior, etched steps, and fine-scale Celcon handrails, plus LED lighting and flexible trainline and MU hoses for lifelike realism. The model is DCC-ready with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connectors for easy decoder upgrades and supports both DC and DCC operation, with smooth slow-speed control. Sound-equipped variants add onboard SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound with dual speakers for engine, horn, and bell sounds, while remaining fully DCC-capable. It’s designed for MU lashups and reliable operation on HO track, including compatibility with standard curves (minimum radius 18 inches, recommended 22 inches).
