HO SD70ACe - Sound, DCC and Smoke - Paragon4(TM) -- Kansas City Southern #4009 (Heroes Scheme, red, black, yellow)

Kansas City Southern's "Heroes" SD70ACe is one of the more meaningful paint schemes to come out of the modern era — a locomotive decorated to honor the people who keep communities running. The scheme combines KCS's signature look with commemorative elements that give this unit a story worth putting on your layout. The Paragon4 version is loaded with synchronized EMD diesel sound, user-adjustable operating smoke, and built-in GoPack capacitors that keep performance steady across every inch of track. DCC and DC compatible straight out of the box.
