The Electro-Motive Corporation began to produce
600 hp diesel switchers similar to our SW-1 in the late 1930's. In 1940, General
Motors bought EMC and changed its name to Electromotive Division (EMD). Since
then, evolving design improvements were incorporated as newer models were produced.
Our SW-1 is the phase II 1942 version.
Right out of the box, your SW-1 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.
