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. Looking for more HO scale power? Browse our HO Scale Locomotives, the full WalthersMainline range, and our DCC decoders and sound. Features All-new tooling with correct North American Safety Cab or spartan cab per prototype. Flush radiators per early production units. Correct HTCR, HTCR-1a or HTCR-1b trucks per prototype. Brass Nathan K5 air horn and treadplate detail on the walkways. Same drive as WalthersProto locomotives: 5-pole skew-wound motor, 14:1 gear ratio, helical-cut gears, dual machined brass flywheels and a heavy die-cast metal chassis. All-wheel drive and all-wheel electrical pickup. 21-pin DCC plug, ready for the decoder of your choice. Speaker already installed and pre-wired at the factory, so a sound decoder drops straight in. LED lighting with high or low headlight per prototype, working front ditch lights, constant and directional lighting. Cab interior, 5000-gallon fuel tank with road-specific details and a bell on the conductor's side. Correct size RP-25 metal wheels and Proto MAX magnetic metal knuckle couplers. Fully assembled.

It does come with a factory-installed speaker and a 21-pin DCC socket, so adding a sound decoder later is truly plug-and-play. Walthers also offers a factory ESU Sound & DCC version (910-20725) if you'd prefer sound out of the box. What minimum curve radius does it need?An 18" minimum radius is recommended. Despite the long six-axle trucks, the RSC-2 is engineered to handle the curves found on most HO layouts. What era does this locomotive fit?The prototype RSC-2 was built starting in 1946 and worked freight, passenger, and yard duty into the 1970s, making it a great match for transition-era and early-modern layouts. Will it run with my other HO equipment?Yes. With standard RP-25 metal wheels and knuckle couplers, it's fully compatible with HO-scale rolling stock and track from any manufacturer.
