Description
Union Pacific #1943 "The Spirit" honors the armed forces and first responders, and it is one of UP's most recognizable modern units.
Broadway Limited's N scale EMD SD70ACe carries the Paragon4 Sound & Control System with Rolling Thunder, so it pulls with authentic EMD 16-710 prime-mover audio, horn, bell and dynamic brake on either DC or DCC. Each model in this run is tooled with prototype-specific detail variations — headlight placement, isolated or non-isolated cab, sunshade length, brake wheel style, cab roof and blower vent layout.
