The Electro-Motive Corporation began to produce 600 hp diesel switchers similar to our SW-9 in the late 1930's. In 1940, General Motors bought EMC and changed its name to Electro-Motive Division (EMD). Since then, evolving design improvements were incorporated as newer models were produced. Modifications included: increased horsepower, multiple-unit (MU) options, welded construction, and changes in body styling. EMD sold 786 SW-9's, manufactured between 1951 and 1954, to more than 80 railroads.
We have added a new option for DCC control without sound. The is the Lenz Gold-JST decoder with Back-EMF and silent drive. We believe this is the best DCC decoder on the market today, and you'll love it in your new SW-9!
The installed DCC sound system that we offer is a Lenz Gold-JST/SoundTraxx DSX combination. This gives the best motor control (Lenz Gold with silent running, back EMF) with the best sound available today!
Other new features of this new run of SW-9s include "golden white" LED headlights and interior cab lights. Check the on-line ordering page for a list of the new roadnames!
Right out of the box, your SW-9 will run on any layout with American Flyer® compatible track and standard transformer, rectifier, and/or rheostat speed control. We also include all the parts necessary to operate on DC or with code 110 RP-25 wheels.
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). Adding a LocoMatic™ controller to your layout will allow you to operate the Horn, Bell, and other locomotive features.
DCC versions are available with or without SoundTraxx DCC sound. DCC versions require a DCC system, available separately or bundled at a special price.
