Rapido Trains Inc HO 27610 DCC/ESU LokSound V5 Equipped EMD SW9 Locomotive Soo Line 'Red & White' SOO #2118 + #2119 2-pack
NEW! Soo Line "Twin Ports" Duluth and Superior 2-Unit Set
In 1978, the Soo Line repainted SW9 2119 into a tribute scheme dedicated to the Port of Superior. It was done up just in time for Railroad Appreciation Day in Superior, Wisconsin. Later in 1979, the Soo repainted 2118 into a similar scheme but with Duluth affixed to the sides. Together, these two SW9s worked on transfer jobs between the two ports.
Soo Line 2118 and 2119 2-Unit Set features:
-
Dual Leslie airhorns
-
Spark arrestors
-
Beacons on cab roof
-
Brass-colored bells
-
Wave graphics with "Duluth" or "Superior"
- Limited stock
The Rapido Trains HO scale SW9 locomotive features:
- Highly detailed cab interior
- See-through metal etched parts
- Many road specific details
- Heavy diecast frame
- Diecast gear boxes for added weight
- Rapido Semi Scale metal couplers
- Full LED lighting, including: operating beacons/flashing lights where appropriate
- DC/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/ESU LokSound**
- Featuring the Rapido MoPower capacitor
**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
Prototype History:
The SW9 locomotive continued Electro-Motive Division’s excellence of small, compact “switcher” engines for yard and local service. From November 1950 to December of 1953, nearly 800 SW9s were built in the LaGrange production facility. Meanwhile, in London, Ontario, GMDD rolled out 29 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. The SW9 was outfitted with the popular 567B prime mover, while a handful received the upgraded 567BC motors that would later be the power of the SW1200 series. A staggering 69 railroads (industrial, short lines and class one roads) would purchase the SW9! The Illinois Central received 70 SW9s, which was the largest order of the production run.
