Kato has announced new EMD SD70ACe Locomotives

Available in Analog, DCC, and DCC+ Sound Versions

Last produced in 2013, Kato announces a new run of Norfolk Southern SD70ACe locomotives coming in early 2020! These engines carry prototypical detailing specific to NS’s SD70ACe units, including the isolated cab and unique roof antenna array! Included in this run will be #1111, often called the “Barcode Unit” due to the way the road number forms a pattern of vertical striping below the cab window!

These new run SD70ACe’s will be available in Analog (DC), Factory DCC, and Special order DCC & Sound versions, and will come in three different road numbers! Place your reservations with your preferred hobby retailer today!

The SD70ACe is the latest in the line of EMD's "70" locomotives, an evolution of the SD70MAC, although its radiator design harkens more to that of the SD80/90 body. The SD70ACe has been designed to fit the latest EPA standards and regulations, and sports 4300 horsepower.

This new run of N Scale SD70ACe locomotives will be retooled with Norfolk Southern specific details (not reflected in the pre-production lineart images above), including new isolated "comfort cab" and revised roof details. They will also haveclear and bright light-piping through untinted lenses for both front and rear directional lighting and will be available at release in both DC (analog) and DCC equipped variations!
