Description
Description
While mechanically similar to earlier SD70 models, the SD70ACe features a redesigned underframe and new sheet metal construction. Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.
In this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical. Highlights include KCS 4006 Veterans Day Salute, Norfolk Southern 1080 (the D&H Heritage unit), and Union Pacific 1943 “The Spirit”.
Each locomotive is tooled with detail variations specific to its prototype, including low and high headlights, isolated and non-isolated cabs, long and short sunshades, two brake wheel styles, three cab roof designs, and two blower vent layouts.
Models are available with Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC or in our No-Sound / DCC-Ready option.

Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions
What is preordering and why would I want to do that?
What is preordering and why would I want to do that?
In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.
Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.
