Item No. 70-2161-1 CSX Law Enforcement SD70ACe Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 ABOUT THE SD70ACE DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE Electro-Motive Diesel’s SD70ACe, along with its General Electric rival, the ES44AC, inaugurated the fourth generation of diesel power. By the turn of the 21st century, the horsepower race was over and the third generation of freight diesels had found its sweet spot: a six-axle, computer-assisted, 4000–4400 horsepower locomotive with a wide, comfortable cab. Railroads viewed this as the perfect building block for multi-engine lashups to power virtually any size train. Development of the next generation of power would be born not out of railroad needs, but due to government regulations. On January 1, 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier-2 emissions requirements for railroad locomotives went into effect, significantly reducing the pollutants that diesels could exhaust into the atmosphere. Rather than just upgrade its existing SD70MAC to meet Tier 2 requirements, EMD took the opportunity to design a new locomotive from the rails up. Emissions turned out to be the easy part. Only slight modifications were needed to make EMD’s 4300 horsepower model 710 motor meet new emission standards. With 5000 such motors in service worldwide and a reputation for dependability, EMD reasoned that shop crews would prefer familiar technology. Other than the prime mover, however, virtually every element of the SD70ACe was rethought to create a 21st-century locomotive. Ergonomics was a prime consideration. The engine’s angular nose offers the crew far better visibility than most other locomotives, and the cab is comfortable for engineers of almost any size. Digital screens provide a range of information on what is happening both inside the locomotive and out on the road. The cab easily accommodates a crew of three — an important factor in a modern world without cabooses. And there is, of course, a cupholder for the engineer. Upgrade your railroad to 21st-century power with our new RailKing One-Gauge SD70ACe, the first One-Gauge model of this fourth-generation pioneer. Our accurate, full 1:32 scale model is loaded with added-on details, including separate grab irons and windshield wipers, hand-painted crew figures, see-through metal grilles, and moveable roof fans. Under the hood are powerful twin motors and our Proto-Sound 3.0 sound and control system, featuring sounds recorded from an actual Union Pacific SD70ACe; conventional and DCS control as well as full 28-function DCC operation; variable intensity diesel exhaust smoke; and LED lighting effects that include directionally controlled headlights, cab illumination, and flashing ditch lights. And in DCS operation, you can easily double- or even triple-head an SD70ACe with any other M.T.H. steam or diesel locomotive. If you’re looking for realism and a lot of fun in a modern locomotive, it doesn’t get any better than this! Order directly from: Trainworld |
Uncataloged RailKing One Gauge G Scale Flat Car with Pipe Load Announced

For small-diameter pipes, a standard flat car may be used. A specialized pipe car may be used for larger pipes. Pipe cars have features such as cradles or bunks to support the pipes and prevent them from rolling, and tie-down chains or straps to secure the load. At last 1:32 modelers can enjoy detailed scale rolling stock built to last and available at affordable prices. We’ve heard the clamoring for this type of equipment and RailKing One-Gauge is proud to deliver.

Each car’s standard features are often extras on other manufacturer’s cars.
