HO SW1000 Locomotive BNSF #3609 (ATH86741)

HO-scale SW1000 Locomotive in BNSF livery, road number 3609, is a compact diesel switcher designed for yard work and light switching on HO layouts. It features a roof beacon (flash function in DCC), a firecracker antenna, MU hoses, and a winterization cab window, plus operating ground lights that add realism during night moves. This Primed For Grime release captures the in-service look with faded base colors, making it an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust.

Designed for versatile layouts, the model is DCC-ready with a 21-pin plug for quick digital installation, and sound-equipped variants use Tsunami2 sound with dual cube speakers. LED lighting provides long life, while the detailed injection-molded body, painted and printed decoration, separately applied grab irons, and see-through radiator and cab windows deliver strong realism. It features McHenry scale knuckle couplers, all-wheel drive and electrical pickup for smooth operation, and requires an 18-inch minimum radius. It ships fully assembled and ready-to-run, making it a compelling addition to yard scenes or modern locomotive rosters on HO layouts.
