HO RTR SW1500 with DCC and Sound SSW #2485 (ATH28760)
HO-scale SW1500 diesel switcher with DCC and sound is a ready-to-run model designed for realistic yard and shortline switching. Recreating late-1960s Cotton Belt power, this locomotive combines detailed styling with reliable DCC operation and Tsunami2 sound to bring everyday switching scenes to life on the layout.
Authentic detailing includes SP-style lighting with a “head knocker†gyralight, a P-3 horn, Flexicoil trucks, and an early-configuration exterior with footboard pilots, pilot face grab irons, and corner-frame gussets. Notable features include a 1,100-gallon fuel tank and a fully equipped cab interior, along with see-through radiator grilles, separately applied wire grab irons, and fine-scale handrails. The model rides on all-wheel drive with a powerful can motor and flywheels for smooth, quiet operation and uses a 21-pin DCC interface for plug-and-play installation. DCC-ready variants provide the 21-pin plug, while DCC and sound versions include Tsunami2 sound with dual cube speakers that operate in both DC and DCC. LED lighting adds long life, and operating ground lights are supported on DCC-equipped setups. Minimum radius is 18 inches, and the model is fully assembled and painted with realistic decoration.
