While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial” truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steer”, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M” in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units traveled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad requested a 4300 horsepower version resulting in the SD75M. As production continued, EMD incorporated their new “Whisper Cab” design resulting in the SD75I. The updated cab SD75I was purchased by Santa Fe successor Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, Canadian National, and the Ontario Northland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanta Fe’s last official EMD order before the BNSF merger, was for 51 SD75M’s placed in 1994. The SD75M differs from the SD70M by a slight horsepower increase (4300 vs 4000), and an extra equipment bulge along the engineer’s side of the body. They were delivered in Santa Fe’s “Superfleet” scheme that was re-introduced in the late 1980’s\/Early 1990’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-delivered appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall EMD plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound deck mounted front ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Sinclair antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly EMD trucks with hidden bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible Trainline and MU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit signal lights and\/or beacons, if equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, and breather pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed recorder unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEMD HTCR trucks, early with hidden bearings, or late with exposed bearings per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows and full cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging securely holds for the model for safe storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18” — Recommended radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC: Equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND: Tsunami2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: EMD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxles: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIGHTED: LED Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Age Recommendation: 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs Assembly Required: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44031568216277,"sku":"ATHG71229","price":280.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-g71229-ho-emd-sd75m-santa-fe-atsf-245-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1677597550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-g71229-ho-emd-sd75m-santa-fe-atsf-245-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
