While designed to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Tier-2 emissions requirements that took effect on January 1, 2005, this replacement for the SD70MAC also has a higher purpose: to recapture the lead in North American locomotive sales that EMD lost to General Electric in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood beats a third-generation model 710 diesel with 4300 horsepower; only slight modifications were needed to make the existing model 710 meet new emission standards. With 5000 such motors in service worldwide and a reputation for dependability, EMD reasoned that shop crews would prefer familiar technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther than the prime mover, however, virtually every element of the SD70ACe has been re-thought to create a 21st century locomotive. Ergonomics were a prime consideration. The engine's angular nose offers the crew far better visibility than most other locomotives, and the cab is comfortable for engineers of almost any size. Digital screens provide a range of information on what is happening both inside the locomotive and out on the road. The cab easily accommodates a crew of three - an important factor in a modern world without cabooses. And there is, of course, a cupholder for the engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD70ACe also offers, in EMD's words, \"outstanding improvements in maintainability.\" All electrical wires are on the right side of the locomotive and all piping is on the left, with most pipes and wires routed under the frame so they can be serviced by a man standing outside the engine - rather than crawling around at the bottom of the engine room. And the time between service intervals has been doubled, from every three months to every six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a year of testing on the road and at the Association of American Railroads' test track in Pueblo, CO, the first SD70ACe's ('e\" stands for \"enhanced\") were delivered to CSX Transportation in 2004. Today they are rostered by nearly every North American Class 1 railroad. At the present time, mainline American railroads generally maintain dual fleets of locomotives. AC power is used for heavy coal hauling and hotshot intermodal traffic because AC traction motors offer higher starting tractive effort with the same horsepower. Less expensive, traditional DC power is used for more mundane duties. But with the SD70ACe, Electro-Motive hopes it may have the 21st Century successor to its 1949 Geep - a locomotive that can be nearly all things to all railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM.T.H. introduces the SD70ACe as their first HO scale diesel, offered in a large variety of accurate paint schemes including the six-engine Union Pacific heritage fleet. Each one-of-a-kind heritage fleet locomotive honors a \"fallen flag\" railroad that is now part of the Union Pacific system. This highly detailed model includes a broader range of features than you'll find on any other HO scale diesel, including operating, variable-intensity diesel exhaust smoke; flashing ditch lights; smooth performance from a three-scale-mile-per-hour crawl to full throttle; \"cruise control\" for steady speeds regardless of curves, switches and grades; built-in decoders for DCC and the M.T.H. Digital Command System (DCS); and a full range of sounds recorded from a prototype Union Pacific SD70ACe. If you're looking for modern motive power that's accurately detailed, smooth running, and a great deal of fun to operate, it doesn't get any better than this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 equipped locomotives can be controlled in command mode with any DCC compliant command control system. While the user won't have access to all of the incredible features of Proto-Sound 3.0, independent control over the locomotive is possible. This means you can continue to use your existing DCC controller to independently control your other DCC equipped locomotives in addition to your Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive on the same track at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed ABS Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Paint Scheme \u0026amp; Cab Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Metal Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable Scale Snow Plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Cab Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectionally Controlled Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP-25 Metal Wheels Mounted On Metal Axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful 5-Pole Precision Flywheel Equipped Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control in Scale MPH Increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Cab Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated Number Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted Marker Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Ditch Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Scale Kadee Compatible Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-Board DCC Receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On Code 70, 83, \u0026amp; 100 Rail Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Measures:10 9\/16\" x 1 7\/16\" x 2 3\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On 18\" Radius Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen using a DCC controller, the following Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive features are accessible:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF0 Headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF1 Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF2 Whistle\/Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF3 Start Up\/Shut Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF4 Rear Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF5 Front Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF6 Engine Sounds On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF7 Sound Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF8 Ditch Lights Auto\/On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF9 Forward Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF10 Reverse Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF11 Grade Crossing Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF12 Cab Light On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF13 Extended Start Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF14 Extended Shut Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF15 Rev Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF16 Rev Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF17 Coupler Slack Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF18 Coupler Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF19 One-Shot Doppler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF20 Feature Reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF21 Idle Sequence 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF22 Idle Sequence 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF23 Idle Sequence 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF24 Ditch Lights Auto\/On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF25 Brakes Auto\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF26 Cab Chatter Auto\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF27 Clickety-Clack Auto\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF28 Coupler Slack Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Freight Yard Proto-Effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
