Union Pacific's Abraham Lincoln unit #1616 in HO scale, one of the road's commemorative schemes, on the WalthersMainline SD70M. Introduced in 1992 and built through 2004, the modified SD70M pairs the SD70 platform with a wide nose and North American Safety Cab. This model is based on the Phase I version.
This is the Standard DC version. It runs straight out of the box on a conventional DC layout, and the 21-pin plug means you can drop in the DCC decoder of your choice whenever you are ready, and the speaker is already installed and wired at the factory for a sound decoder.
Underneath it is the same drive Walthers puts in its Proto locomotives: a 5-pole skew-wound motor, dual brass flywheels, all-wheel drive and pickup, and a die-cast chassis that gives it the weight to pull a real train.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this locomotive have sound?No. This is the Standard DC version. It has a 21-pin DCC plug and a factory-installed speaker, so adding a sound decoder is a plug-in job.
Will it run on my DC layout?Yes. It runs on a conventional DC power pack straight out of the box.
What is the minimum radius?18 inches will work, but 22 inches or larger is recommended for reliable running and a better look.
Is it ready to run?Yes. It comes fully assembled with metal knuckle couplers and metal wheels installed.
Can I add grab irons?Yes. The shell has molded drill starter points. The SD70-Series Diesel Detail Kit (910-261) is sold separately.
Are other road numbers available?Yes. See More in This Series above for the rest of this run. They are a one-time run in limited quantity.
