Description
Run iconic Union Pacific power on your N scale layout with Kato's EMD SD70M in the commemorative #1979 "We Are One" scheme. This flat-radiator SD70M captures UP's 4,000-horsepower freight workhorse, and as a DC (silent) model it runs smooth and quiet right out of the box while staying drop-in ready for DCC whenever you decide to add a decoder.
