Shortly before its purchase by General Motors, Electro-Motive Corporation introduced its second generation diesel-electric switching locomotive, the NW-2. Responding to the railroad's requirements for more powerful switching locomotives, the NW-2's design improvements incorporated a larger, 1000HP engine, a completely welded frame, and changes in body styling. Built from 1939 until the end of 1949, NW-2s proved to be EMD's most popular switcher, and enjoyed the longest production run of any EMD product. Almost 1,150 units were delivered to railroads in the U.S. and Canada.
Second run Road Names now available include ATSF, CB&Q, PRR, and unlettered black. The NW-2s are available
with LocoMatic™ sound or DCC right from the factory! Other features
include
"golden white" LED headlights and interior cab lights. Check the on-line
ordering page for a list of
all the roadnames!
Right out of the box, your NW-2 will run on any layout with American Flyer®
compatible track.
We also include all the parts necessary to operate with code 110 RP-25 wheels.
The AC/DC no sound version will operate with a standard transformer, rectifier,
and/or rheostat speed
control.
LocoMatic™ Sound versions include the sound of the prime mover
and brake release, plus standard sequential locomotive control (i.e. Forward,
Neutral, Reverse, with directional lighting).
DCC versions are available with or without SoundTraxx DCC sound. DCC versions
require a DCC
system, available separately or bundled at a special price.
