The EMD NW2 Switcher from Rock Island 4907 is a striking model painted in red and yellow, designed for N-scale railroad enthusiasts. This locomotive, which is DCC-ready and features no sound, captures the essence of the 1,000 hp diesel locomotives that were primarily used for switching tasks in railyards across North America.
