HO SW1500 Locomotive Rock Island #940 Plastic Model (ATH29662)

HO Scale Rock Island SW1500 Locomotive No. 940 is a detailed, ready-to-run model of General Motors' EMD SW1500 switcher, designed for yard and industrial switching in HO scale. It reproduces the Rock Island's practical switcher with features like Flexicoil trucks, hood-mounted handrails, a large fuel tank, MU hoses, footboards on both ends, and the distinctive Nathan P-5 horn.

Inside and out, the model is built for realism and reliable operation. It includes lit ground lights, a detailed cab interior, see‑through radiator grille and cab windows, and finely rendered grab irons and hoses. The drivetrain emphasizes smooth, quiet performance with all‑wheel drive, a robust 5‑pole motor with flywheels, and consistent current pickup. DCC‑ready versions accept a 21‑pin plug, while sound‑equipped editions feature SoundTraxx Economi sound with a single cube speaker and operate on both DC and DCC. McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee‑compatible), RP25‑profile wheels, LED lighting, and carefully reproduced details like printed number boards and separate air tanks round out the model for authentic operation on HO layouts with a minimum 18" radius.
