EMD NW2 Switcher GN 158 Simplified Empire Builder N Scale Model (BLI9302)

This N-scale replica recreates the EMD NW2 switcher in the GN 158 Simplified Empire Builder livery, designed for model railroaders who want an authentic yard switcher on an N-scale layout. The model pairs a die-cast body with Paragon4 Sound and Control for realistic locomotive operation, including detailed performance that brings switching work to life.

Inside, a dual-mode decoder with Back EMF supports smooth slow-speed operation in both DC and DCC, while a precision drive, all-wheel pickup, and a die-cast body and chassis deliver weight, traction, and reliability. Prototypically accurate paint schemes and road numbers, plus finely applied details such as handrails, grab irons, smokestacks, horn, and bell, are complemented by metal Kadee-compatible couplers. It runs on Code 55, 70, and 80 rails with a 9-inch minimum radius, and includes authentic EMD NW2 sounds and Rolling Thunder for a lifelike switching experience.
