This latest release brings together cutting-edge performance and stunning detail. Each model features a die-cast metal body for maximum weight and pulling power, metal handrails and stanchions for durability, and see-through steps that enhance realism right out of the box. Models in our Paragon4 Series raise the bar with dynamic features like variable-intensity smoke from the exhaust stack—bringing your layout to life like never before. Every locomotive is carefully crafted with prototypically accurate details tailored to each specific paint scheme. The EMD SD70ACe is the modern evolution of the SD70MAC, designed to meet stricter emissions standards while delivering 4,300 horsepower from its 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover. Often equipped with a Nathan K5LLA horn, these powerful units are seen across North America and beyond, with over 2,000 units and variants produced by EMD. Railfans and modelers alike will recognize the SD70ACe’s special place in modern railroading. Class I railroads such as Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern, and Montana Rail Link have all commissioned unique and eye-catching paint schemes for their fleets. In 2005, UP unveiled six "Heritage" units, each representing a predecessor railroad. In 2012, NS rolled out 20 commemorative locomotives—including 10 SD70ACes numbered 1065–1074—for its 30th anniversary. Many of these units honor veterans, first responders, and essential workers, making them both meaningful and memorable additions to any collection. In this exciting second production run, we’re offering twelve prototypical paint schemes and two fantasy schemes, each one packed with accurate detailing and distinctive character. Paragon4 models come fully equipped with sound, smoke, DCC compatibility, and built-in GoPack capacitors for smooth, uninterrupted performance.
