The first SW-class engine, the 600-hp SW1, appeared in 1939, and the SW-units remained in the EMD catalog until the 1,000-hp SW-1000 was finally retired in 1986. With the SW in the name denoting that the engine was built for switching duties, it never needed the high horsepower ratings of road diesels. They could be paired with cab-less calf units in the classic cow and calf configuration if a particular job needed more power.These boxy little workhorses return to the M.T.H. RailKing lineup in 2008 in a new variety of roadnames. As with all RailKing diesel engines, each is available with the exciting Proto-Sound 2.0 system for unprecented value and fun. As switch locomotives, the SWs are perfect for yard duty thanks to their incredible slow-speed performance - performance governed by M.T.H.'s industry-leading Proto-Speed speed control system. No other switchers can creep so slow or uncouple cars from front or rear without additional equipment. If you've got a transformer with a whistle and bell button, you've got the best switcher you can buy today.Pull-out fact: While the SW-8s and -9s were produced as replacements for the aging NW-2 diesel switcher, they proved themselves impervious to age themselves, becoming railyard mainstays for decades.Features Include: Intricately Detailed ABS Body,(2) Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplersr, Die-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank, Colorful Paint Scheme, Die-Cast Metal Chassis, Metal Handrails and Decorative Horn, (2) Precision Flywheel Equipped Motors, Directionally Controlled Headlights, Metal Wheels, Axles and Gears, Locomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments Proto-Sound 2.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Freight Yard Proto-Effects, Unit Measures:12 x 2 1\/2 x 3 1\/2,Operates On O-31 Curves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
