{"product_id":"ath-2524","title":"HO ATH SW1500 Locomotive FTRL #1515 (ATH-2524)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale replica of the Athearn EMD SW1500 Switcher Locomotive, this model reproduces the compact, 1,500-horsepower diesel switcher that powered light branch lines and industrial yards from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. Notable for its bulkier carbody and two exhaust stacks, the SW1500 is faithfully captured with a highly detailed injection-molded body and a realistic cab interior. Legendary Liveries—an Athearn exclusive—offers classic and alternate paint schemes to suit a range of eras and railroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDesigned for versatile layout use, this model is offered in DC and DCC-ready formats, with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology for 21-pin NEM decoders, a refined 5-pole skew-wound motor, and LED lighting for long life. Realistic touches include see-through radiator grilles and cab windows, separately applied grab irons, MU hoses, and ground lights, plus RP25 wheel contours for smooth running on common track. Sound-equipped versions feature a DCC decoder and SoundTraxx Econami with a single speaker for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds, while all configurations maintain NMRA compatibility and reliable all-wheel electrical pickup. Minimum radius is 18 inches, making it a practical fit for many layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557146771508,"sku":"ATH-2524","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-2524.jpg?v=1772829018","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-2524","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
