Into AC-traction six-axle power? The Rapido Trains EMD SD70MACH locomotive, in Metra colors, nails the look of these modern SD70-series machines.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. This SD70MACH — an SD70MAC rebuilt by Progress Rail for Metra commuter service, a six-axle (C-C) EMD 710-powered AC-traction unit — adds head-end power (HEP), with one traction inverter repurposed for HEP (a B1-1B arrangement). It is the first six-axle passenger locomotive since the EMD F40C. A five-pole motor with dual flywheels, a heavy die-cast chassis, directional headlights and a detailed cab interior: it is all here.
