Explore the Athearn Genesis ATHG75857 EMD SD70ACU PRLX #7271 HO scale model train. This high - quality model comes with DCC and Sound Tsunami 2 features. PRLX features include a Nathan 5 - chime horn, a large plow, and alternating flash ditch lights on both ends that function in DCC. In 2022, Progress Rail bought ex - NS SD70ACU’s, some with a red 'PRLX' hand - written over the old logo. Road number #7271 was originally from UP, with a forward light grey/primer radiator fan and a slightly faded body. SD70ACU series locomotives have illuminated truck lights, number boards, and see - through air intakes. The Genesis diesel locomotive has animated roller bearing trucks, flexible hoses, and a detailed fuel tank. Sound - equipped models have an onboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound and dual cube speakers for great sound quality. The prototype history shows its evolution from Norfolk Southern's 2014 purchase of ex - Union Pacific SD90MAC locomotives to the SD70ACU rebuild program.
