New Run EMD SW-1200 Switchers |
By
1954 railroads were buying diesels as fast as EMD could
build them, and customer demand for more powerful
units carried over into the switcher market as well. With
the introduction of the new 567C prime mover that year,
EMD rolled out its new 1200-horsepower SW9/1200 model
which shared
the same basic body (with minor variations) and power rating
with its predecessor, the SW9 (which had a 567B prime mover).
SW9/1200s were produced through 1966 when earlier GPs began
taking over yard chores, but these later SW models lead
long lives with many still serving shortline and industrial
roads
long after "retirement" by the original owners.
Walthers has announced a new run of SW-1200
switchers
in N scale that will have the following features:
*
Limited Edition -- One Time Run of These Roadnumbers!
* DCC-Friendly - Use TCS MT1500 Decoder
* All-Wheel Drive & Electrical Pickup
* 5-Pole Skew-Wound Motor
* Die Cast Underframe for Pulling Power
* RP-25 Metal Wheels
Operate on Code 55 or Larger Rail
* Micro-Trains Couplers® factory installed.

EMD SW-8!
The 800 horsepower EMD SW-8, nicknamed "America's Medium
Horsepower Switcher" was a light switcher introduced
in 1950. It was used by many roads.
The SW-8 is NOT DCC friendly. If you click on the photo
above, you will taken to Train Control Systems web page
showing hard-wired DCC installing available for the SW-8/SW900
locos.
May I suggest the following links for more information
on
the
prototype.
