RailKing O Gauge Kansas City Southern Veterans SD70ACe Diesel Locomotives Now In StockCheck Out It Out In Action In All-New Video
The complex KCS Veterans scheme adorning the RailKing SD70ACe honors our nation's heroes with an intricate paint scheme that combines the flag and uniform design of our armed forces. In addition to KCS scheme, there are other SD70ACe diesels featured in the 2019 Volume 2 catalog that have arrived and are in-stock and ready-to-ship. You can see the entire collection by going HERE. About the SD70ACe Diesel The SD70ACe is Electro-Motive Division's hope for the future. While designed to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Tier-2 emissions requirements that took effect on January 1, 2005, this replacement for the SD70MAC also seems to have a higher purpose: to recapture the lead in North American locomotive sales. Under the hood beats a third-generation model 710 diesel with 4300 horsepower; only slight modifications were needed to make the model 710 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 has been re-thought to create a 21st-century locomotive. Ergonomics were 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. The SD70ACe also offers, in EMD's words, "outstanding improvements in maintainability." All electrical wires are on the right side of the locomotive and all piping is on the left, with most pipes and wires routed under the frame so they can be serviced by a man standing outside the engine - rather than crawling around at the bottom of the engine room. The number of electrical components has been drastically reduced while access to the remaining parts has been seriously improved. And the time between service intervals has been doubled, from every three months to every six months. You can see the locomotive in action on video by clicking HERE.

They can also be ordered from the M.T.H. online store by clicking on the item number when you go HERE. To see the entire 2019 Volume 2 RailKing lineup, click here. HO Big Boy With Smoking Whistle Now In StockCheck Out It Out In Action In All-New Video
Writer Henry Comstock beautifully described the Big Boy’s place at the apex of steam engine history: "A Union Pacific ‘Big Boy’ was 604 tons and 19,000 cubic feet of steel and coal and water, poised upon 36 wheels spaced no wider apart than those of an automobile. That it could thunder safely over undulating and curved track at speeds in excess of 70 miles an hour was due in large measure to the efforts of two long-forgotten pioneers. As early as 1836, the basic system that held its wheels in equalized contact with the rails was patented by a Philadelphian named Joseph Harrison; and a French technical writer, Anatole Mallet, first thought to couple two driving units heel to toe below one boiler in 1874." This enduring symbol of American railroading returns to the rails featuring our industry-leading speed control and synchronized puffing smoke output, as well as authentic articulated chuffing sounds with the front and rear engines drifting in and out of sync. Like all M.T.H. locomotives, our new Big Boy offers HO scale’s finest combination of detail, realism, and performance. Listen to the chuff of the drive wheels as they sync in and out of each other, and throttle down as low as three scale miles per hour so you can admire the details as the Big Boy glides past.
