EMD SW-9 / 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.
Life-Like has announced a new run of SW9 / SW-1200
switchers
in N scale that will have the following features:
Expected: September 2011

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.
