HO EMD SD70ACe Locomotive NS 1047 Black and White (BLI8709)

An HO-scale Norfolk Southern SD70ACe locomotive, road number NS 1047 in black and white, is a high-fidelity model designed to bring authentic diesel power to a layout. It combines a heavy die-cast body and chassis for maximum weight and traction, with metal handrails and stanchions and see-through steps for a prototypical look. The Paragon4 sound and control system with Rolling Thunder delivers authentic engine sounds and responsive performance, with user-adjustable smoke to add realism as the train comes to life on the rails.

Designed for both DC and DCC operation, the model uses an integral dual-mode decoder with back EMF for smooth slow-speed operation. It features all-wheel electrical pickup, prototypically accurate paint and road numbers, and many separately applied details such as grab irons, horns, bells, wipers, and etched grills. Front and rear lights are directional, with other lighting controlled by the decoder, and metal Kadee-compatible couplers are included. It will operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 track, with a minimum operating radius of 18 inches. Weighing about 1.98 pounds, this model offers solid pulling power and a realistic presence on the layout.
