Famous for its dramatic mountain routes, extensive California operations, and distinctive scarlet-and-gray locomotives, Southern Pacific served much of the western United States including California, Texas, Oregon, and Arizona. The railroad hauled everything from agricultural products and intermodal traffic to lumber, automobiles, and heavy industrial freight. SP also became well known for its challenging mountain operations over Donner Pass and the rugged Tehachapi Loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"1333\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe EMD SD70M represented one of Southern Pacific’s final generations of new locomotive power before the railroad merged into Union Pacific in 1996. SP’s SD70Ms featured the railroad’s bold “Speed Lettering” paint scheme and modern wide-nose safety cab design, making them some of the most recognizable late-era Southern Pacific locomotives. Built for heavy freight service, the 4,000-horsepower SD70M was commonly assigned to intermodal trains, manifest freights, and western mainline operations. Because the locomotives arrived during SP’s final independent years, they have become especially popular among railfans and modelers as symbols of the railroad’s last modern era before the Union Pacific merger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 23px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne time run of these roadnumbers, order now - limited quantity available!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect North American Safety Cab per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush radiators per early production units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect HTCR-1a or HTCR-1b trucks per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass Nathan K5 air horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreadplate detail on walkways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius 18\" (22\" or larger recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting includes:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh or low headlight per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved, working front ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant and directional lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with ESU Sound \u0026amp; DCC for DCC or DC powered layouts with:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour air horns changeable by CVs:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK5LAR24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP5R24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK3LA2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK3L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Bells changeable by CVs:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraham E-bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-Pin DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame powerful drive as WalthersProto(R) locos featuring:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14:1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical-cut gears for quiet operation and easy multiple unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive and electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual machined brass flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5000-gallon fuel tank w\/road specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard bell on conductor's side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded drill starter points for grab irons - easily added with SD70-Series Diesel Detail Kit (910-261, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect size RP-25 metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) magnetic metal knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePLEASE NOTE: When operating Walthers-branded DCC-equipped locomotives in DC mode, do not use power packs that exceed an 18V rating.
