EMD NW2 Switcher ATSF 2416 Zebra Stripes N Scale Model (BLI9301)

An N-scale EMD NW2 switcher in Santa Fe zebra-stripe livery (ATSF 2416) with Paragon4 Sound and DC/DCC control, designed for realistic yard switching on compact N-scale layouts.

Powered by an integral dual-mode decoder with Back EMF for smooth slow-speed operation on both DC and DCC, the model features a precision drive for heavy towing and all-wheel electrical pickup. The die-cast body and chassis add weight and durability, while separately applied details like handrails, grab irons, smokestacks, and a horn and bell boost realism. Prototypical lighting options include both dual and single headlights depending on the scheme, and the Paragon4 system delivers authentic sounds with Rolling Thunder. Metal Kadee-compatible couplers (2) and compatibility with Code 55, 70, and 80 rails, plus a 9-inch minimum operating radius, make this NW2 ready for switching tasks and tight curves on modern N-scale layouts.
