Limited Edition.\u003cbr\u003eWalthersProto EMD SW900 with QSI sound \u0026amp; DCC PROTO 2000®. Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio #9409 (blue, yellow, B\u0026amp;O on hood). Introduced by EMD in 1950, the SW8 offered railroads and industry a rugged and reliable unit for switching chores, replacing the last of steam or earlier diesel switchers still in service. Powered by the famed 567B, the engines delivered 800 horsepower. In 1954, industry demand for a more powerful switcher led EMD to introduce the SW900, producing 100 additional horsepower from the 567C prime mover. Outwardly, these units (and the SW600 of which only 15 were built) were virtually identical. Production ended in late 1965 with a combined total of 743 engines. Well into the 1980s, these early switchers served railroads large and small and some remain in industrial service today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eRoadname-specific detailing\u003cbr\u003eHeavy die cast chassis for maximum traction\u003cbr\u003e5-pole skew-wound armature motor\u003cbr\u003eHelical gears for silent running\u003cbr\u003eMachined-brass flywheels\u003cbr\u003eLow speed under 3 scale MPH\u003cbr\u003eLED constant \u0026amp; directional headlights\u003cbr\u003eProto MAX™ metal knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed to match Phase 2 units in service from the late 1960s to 1986 with:\u003cbr\u003e5 louvers per side on battery box\u003cbr\u003e3 lift lugs per side on hood\u003cbr\u003eDual lens headlight\u003cbr\u003eNumberboard on radiator grille\u003cbr\u003e2-color 3-stanchion front \u0026amp; rear end handrails\u003cbr\u003eStandard size fuel tank\u003cbr\u003eLeslie S-2M horn\u003cbr\u003eOpen step risers\u003cbr\u003eWhip antenna\u003cbr\u003eSpark arrestor\u003cbr\u003eSquare truck journal boxes\u003cbr\u003eFront \u0026amp; rear pilot grab irons\u003cbr\u003eFootboards on pilots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance, has a label in the bottom, included trim parts.
