Union Pacific #1943 "The Spirit" is UP's rolling tribute to the U.S. armed forces, painted on one of its modern EMD SD70ACe road units. Broadway Limited's N scale model captures it with prototype-specific cab and roof details, and this Stealth version runs on DC out of the box with a speaker already installed for an easy decoder upgrade later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it have sound?
No. This is the Stealth version, so it runs silent on DC. The speaker is already installed, so adding a Next18 sound decoder later is a plug-in job.
Can I run it on DCC?
Yes, once you plug a Next18 DCC decoder into the socket. As supplied it runs on DC.
What is the minimum radius?
Broadway Limited lists 9 inches. We recommend 9 3/4 inches or broader for the most reliable running, especially with long freight trains.
