9393 EMD SW7 Switcher Union Railroad Blue and White DCC-Ready (BLI9393)

The 9393 EMD SW7 Switcher, adorned in the blue and white of the Union Railroad, is a stunning representation of classic diesel switcher locomotives. With a history dating back to the early 1950s, the EMD SW7 boasts 1,200 horsepower, effectively replacing the older NW2 model in the Electro-Motive Division catalog. The SW7 features a full-height radiator grill on the front, and its design includes dual headlights and rear lights, characteristics that distinguish it from previous models. Its robust, ABS body coupled with a die-cast chassis ensures maximum tractive effort for heavy towing and smooth operation at slow speeds.

This model is part of the Stealth Series, which offers No-Sound and DCC-Ready locomotives. It features LED lighting that is directional and powered by track supply, in addition to being equipped with an 8 ohm speaker for easy installation of a DCC/Sound decoder. With precision engineering, all-wheel electrical pick-up, and a compact design that operates efficiently on track with a minimum radius of 9 inches, this locomotive is a versatile choice for train enthusiasts.
