Description
EMD's SD70 family has led North American freight since the 1990s, and the SD70M was the DC-traction version bought in huge numbers by Union Pacific. It is a staple of the modern UP roster.
This WalthersMainline model is Union Pacific #1776, with ESU LokSound DCC and sound factory installed. Heavy die-cast frame, all-wheel drive and brass flywheels make it a strong, smooth runner for modern freight.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will it ship?
Walthers expects this run in Winter 2028. We ship it the day it reaches us.
How does the pre-order work?
Pick your terms at checkout: pay in full, or pay a 10% deposit with the balance invoiced before it ships. Either way your unit is held for you.
Is the sound decoder already installed?
Yes. This is the LokSound version, so sound and DCC are factory installed and ready to program.
What curves will it handle?
Walthers lists an 18" minimum radius, with 22" or broader recommended.
Does the photo show this exact road number?
Not always. Walthers supplies one photo per paint scheme, so the number on the model in the image may differ from the one you receive.
