This was an attempt to regain market share from General Electric, the dominant locomotive builder at the time. GE continued to advance locomotive design from the Dash-9 series, into the AC4400 and current ES44 and ET44 series GEVOs. EMD’s answer was the SD70 (spartan cab) and SD70M (wide cab) models equipped with DC traction motors. From there, the SD70I was developed with an isolated cab to reduce noise and vibration for the crews. The SD70MAC was the final stepping stone into the world of AC traction motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to newer EPA regulations, EMD needed to redesign their successful SD70 series to comply with current emission standards. The SD70Ace was introduced in 2004 to meet the demand. The SD70ACe is equipped with EMD's 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover which fires with 15% lower internal pressure to improve emissions. The body design is a cumulative effect of design improvements from previous models. This included the latest quite cab technology including isolated cabs, along with the flared radiator sections found on previous SD80MACs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough AC traction motors were the predominant choice, there was still a call for a conventional DC version of the new locomotive. The SD70M-s is the DC equivalent to the SD70Ace and was purchased by Norfolk Southern, Canadian National, EMD and CIT Financial, with units being leased to Florida East Coast. With retirements and sales, you can now find SD70M-2s on smaller railroads such as NYS\u0026amp;W and Vermont Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD70Ace enjoyed wide acceptance from railroads large and small. You can find these units on short lines and regionals like Tacoma Rail, Northshore Mining, Quebec North Shore \u0026amp; Labrador, Arkansas and Missouri Railroad and Montana Rail Link. Class One railroads include Canadian National, CSX, Ferromex, Kansas City Southern, Norfolk Southern, and other units were manufactured for export. The largest fleets were built for BNSF and Union Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile emission standards will change and may affect future locomotive appearance, the SD70ACe that we know today should be around for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew paint scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 2012 to present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries 4130 to 4199; built 2012-2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating LED-illuminated front deck-mounted ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted and LED-illuminated number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-applied detail parts: wire grab irons, 3-hose MU clusters, uncoupling levers, windshield wipers, sunshades, brake wheel, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall snowplow with open doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating knuckle couplers – Micro-Trains® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody mounted coupler box – accepts Micro-Trains® 1015\/1016 type couplers without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway with front and rear anticlimber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond plate anti-slip walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose door without window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront LED-illuminated headlight with lenses on low short hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEMD ISO cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior with floor, rear wall, seats, and desktop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTinted cab side windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly EMD inverter box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab roof octagonal antenna dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost wax brass cast Nathan AirChime K5LLA horn mounted on engine cab roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED-illuminated high mounted vertical rear headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel tank with single fills per side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor with 5-pole skew wound armature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pick-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinting and lettering legible under magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on Code 55 and 80 rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging safely stores model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius: 9 ¾”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Radius: 11”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC \u0026amp; sound equipped locomotives also feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESU-LokSound 5 Micro DCC \u0026amp; sound decoder with “Full Throttle”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCube-type speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate EMD prime mover and auxiliary sounds, horn, bell, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on both DC and DCC layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fox Valley Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43465105440981,"sku":"FVM10170","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/fox-valley-models-10170-n-scale-emd-sd70ace-kansas-city-southern-kcs-4138-loksound.jpg?v=1660342530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/fox-valley-models-10170-n-scale-emd-sd70ace-kansas-city-southern-kcs-4138-loksound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
