HO EMD SD70ACU Locomotive with DCC and Sound, NS #7242 (ATHG75859)

HO-scale Norfolk Southern SD70ACU Locomotive with DCC and Sound is a ready-to-run model that faithfully reproduces NS’s modern rebuilt power. It features an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and two speakers for authentic engine, horn, and bell audio, plus LED headlights and alternating ditch lights for nighttime realism. The model captures NS styling with see-through cab windows, see-through air intakes, and a heavy die-cast frame that provides solid weight and realistic pulling power.

Built for HO layouts, this locomotive is fully assembled and ready to run on standard track. It delivers smooth, quiet operation with eight-wheel drive and a robust gearing system and uses all-wheel electrical pickup for dependable power. It supports both DC and DCC operation, with full DCC functions and CV-based customization for MU lashups and sound/lighting tweaks. Finely tuned details—like fine-scale Celcon handrails and an accurate NS paint scheme—make it a convincing centerpiece for any Norfolk Southern-themed railroad.
