Kato will be releasing in April 2010, a Rerun of their EMD SD70M Locomotive in Norfolk Southern

Introduced in 1992, EMD SD70M is 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 SD70M was primarily put to work hauling coal trains due to its high pulling capacity.

Features:

► Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels

► Floating-axle shock-absorber design to maximize tracking and performance

► Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards

► Kato magnetic knuckle coupler

► DCC Friendly mechanism ready for drop-in decoder installation

Reserve before November 23,2009
