HO SW1500 Locomotive Frisco #317 (ATH29677)

HO-scale SW1500 Locomotive in Frisco livery, number 317, is a detailed model of the EMD SW1500 switcher designed for authentic yard and industrial operation on HO layouts. It captures the Frisco variant with distinctive features such as ARR trucks with Timken bearings, a large fuel tank, MU hoses, frame-mounted handrails, a cab Stratolight beacon (functions in DCC mode), a firecracker antenna, and footboards on both ends. Available in DCC-ready form or as a sound-equipped model, it also features LED lighting for bright, reliable operation.

On the rails, this model offers smooth, realistic performance with all-wheel drive and precise gearing, plus a finely detailed injection-molded body, see-through radiator grille and cab windows, and separately applied grab irons. It includes front and rear trainline hoses with silver glad hands, MU hoses and stands, McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and RP25 wheel contours for compatibility with popular HO track. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it suits yard, industrial, and light freight scenes while faithfully reflecting the Frisco SW1500’s role in late-1960s to 1970s service.
