Prototype
Information —
The
General Motors Locomotive Group (GMLG) Electro-Motive Division
(EMD) SD70MAC is one
of the most common locomotives plying the rails today. Originally
introduced in late 1993 with
an order for the Burlington Northern, the production now
totals over 900 units, exceeding the
combined production of the SD80MAC and SD90MAC locomotives
by over 300 units.
Designed
to be a solid locomotive to upgrade the Burlington Northern
fleet, the SD70MAC has
its origins in the SD60MAC design demonstrated on the BN.
At
this time, the SD70MAC, in all of its versions, has been
operated
by six different railroads
in a total of eight different paint schemes. The railroads
that operate this locomotive span
from East to West and from Mexico to Alaska! The locomotives
are used to haul all kinds of
freight, and even passenger trains (Alaska Railroad). For
comparison, the SD80MAC has been
operated in three paint schemes and the SD90MAC has been
operated by three railroads in
four paint schemes.
Model Features —
All
of these models will feature our White LED Headlight,
magnetic knuckle couplers, printed
and lighted number boards, MU hose detail, a powerful
five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels,
and a DCC-friendly mechanism. Additionally, the models
will feature walkway-mounted, lighted
ditch lights! Handrails will be made of a paintable material
so modelers can easily add white end
railings.
Featuring
a new bodyshell and trucks to correctly represent this
version
of the SD70MAC,
these models will also be equipped with all-wheel electrical
pick-up and blackened metal
wheels. The trucks replicate EMD's HTCR Phase I trucks.
Roadname Information —
- BNSF
Executive Scheme
As
noted above in the Prototype History, the SD70MAC grew
out of the EMD/BN SD60MAC demonstrators. The first SD70MAC
was delivered to the BN in 1993 and established a standard
locomotive type that remains a favorite on BNSF today.
Even after the BN+ATSF=BNSF merger, the SD70MAC continued
to be painted in the classy "Executive" scheme. BNSF #9837,
manufactured in March, 1997, was the final new locomotive
to be painted in the BN Executive scheme.
- BNSF
Heritage II Scheme
The
attractive BNSF Heritage II Scheme, also known as the "Premium Heritage Scheme," evolved
from a special paint job applied to SD60M #9297. (Photos
are available
from The BNSF Photo Archive and BNSFpix.com.) This
locomotive was painted in a slightly different scheme on
both sides, and based on employee input, the Heritage II
Scheme was developed! The original Heritage I scheme is
still applied to standard cab locomotives, as shown on
our previously produced SD40-2 Snoot
Nose, however all wide cab locomotives now receive
the Heritage II Scheme when repainted. Both the Heritage
I and Heritage II Schemes are based on colors and logos
from BNSF predecessor railroads.
- Conrail
An
astute modeler will note that the road numbers Conrail
assigned to their SD70MAC locomotives (4130-4144) fall
neatly in line behind the road numbers assigned to their
previously delivered SD80MACs (4100-4129). Conrail had
placed an order with EMD for additional SD80MAC locomotives.
But, then the NS & CSX merger/split with Conrail occured
and the two new owners divided all locomotives right down
the middle. Because this was a pending order, and CSX and
NS were now in control, they were able to make order modifications.
According to the Conrail
Cyclopedia, Norfolk Southern converted their allotment
of the second SD80MAC order into standard cab SD70 locomotives,
while CSX converted their order into wide cab SD70MAC locomotives.
Delivered in Conrail paint, these locomotives were built
to the specifications of their future owners (note no red
warning lights on CR SD70MACs). These were Conrail's final
locomotives.
- CSX
On the CSX, the hard-working SD70MAC (known by the
CSX as the SD70AC) is assigned to the Cumberland Coal Division.
Delivered in 1997, CSX's original 75 locomotives were supplemented
with an additional 15 from the Conrail merger. Prototype
photos of CSX SD70MAC locomotives are available from the CSX
Photo Archives.
- BNSF
"2005," "Heritage 3," "Swoosh," "Nike," "New IMage," or
"Power Bar" Scheme
Kato
is happy to announce the SD70MAC in BNSF Railway “Swoosh” (a/k/a
"Heritage 3," "Nike," "2005'" "New Image" or "Power
Bar" scheme in Cab Headlight and Nose
Headlight variations. The “Swoosh” paint
scheme is the latest look for the BNSF rail road,
at once celebrating its past history, while modernizing
its look for the future, and is a hotly demanded
scheme for modern railroad modelers. Note: Wwith
the introduction of this scheme BNSF dropped the formal
name
"Burlington Northern Santa Fe" and adopted BNSF Railway
as the new name of the railroad.

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
