The Rapido HO Scale EMD SD70MACe Rebuild Diesel Locomotive – BNSF H3 Swoosh Scheme #9725 (DC/DCC/Sound) is a highly detailed HO scale model representing modern rebuilt diesel power in active BNSF service. Finished in the bold BNSF H3 “Swoosh” paint scheme, this locomotive delivers contemporary railroading realism with premium detail and performance.
Modeled as road number 9725, this locomotive is part of BNSF’s SD70MACe rebuild program, where earlier SD70MAC units were upgraded with modern traction systems, updated electronics, and improved operational efficiency. These rebuilds allow the proven SD70MAC platform to remain a core part of modern freight operations.
