Description
Prototype Information:
The General Motors Locomotive Group (GMLG) Electro-Motive Division (EMD) SD70MAC is one of the most common locomotives plying the rails today. Originally introduced in late 1993 with an order for the Burlington Northern, the production now totals over 900 units, exceeding the combined production of the SD80MAC and SD90MAC locomotives by over 300 units.
At this time, the SD70MAC, in all of its versions, has been operated by six different railroads in a total of eight different paint schemes. The railroads that operate this locomotive span from East to West and from Mexico to Alaska!
Model Information:
These models will be equipped with all-wheel electrical pick-up and blackened metal wheels in trucks that replicate the HTCR Phase II trucks. (On the prototype, this truck evolved from the HT-C trucks found on the SD40-2 through SD60 and features radial steering capability). Additionally, the models will feature walkway-mounted, lighted ditch lights! Handrails will be made of a paintable material so modelers can easily add white end railings.

Alaska Railroad SD70MAC 100 Anniversary...
Runs perfect right out of the box, just like a Kato does. Paint is accurate and clean. Love it, and I'm buying the Spirit of North Pole to run with it. MMR are good people to deal with. Shipping was fast and well packaged.

KATO 100 YEARS ALASKA RAILROAD SD70MAC
My new engine ran perfect right out of the box, just as you expect from Kato. They never disappoint. Midwest Models were great to work with, just like in my past orders. Good communication, fair price, and arrived quickly.
