Kato EMD SD70M UP #4000 w/DCC
Introduced in 1992, EMD SD70M was a 4000 horsepower locomotive that ran on
EMD's new steerable truck design, known as the HTCR-II radial truck.
This new truck allowed the locomotive to transfer its power to the rails more efficiently,
which in turn enabled two SD70M locomotives to pull a train that would have taken 3 SD40-2's to pull.
The DC brother of the SD70MAC, the SD70M was primarily put to work
hauling coal trains due to its high pulling capacity.

Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards

DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation
Equipped with all-wheel electrical pick-up and blackened metal wheels in trucks
that replicate the HTCR Phase II trucks.
The swap meet today has been cancelled due to weather. The shop will still be open as usual.
