EMD SW7 Switcher Santa's Workshop #2 DCC-Ready Model (BLI9395)

EMD SW7 Switcher Santa’s Workshop #2 is a DCC-Ready, no-sound locomotive that recreates the classic 1,200-horsepower SW7 switcher in the Santa’s Workshop #2 festive livery. This release, aligned with the Stealth Series, ships without sound but is ready to accept a DCC decoder for sound, preserving prototypical styling and road-number accuracy for a holiday-themed layout.

Out of the box, front and rear headlights are directional, while other lighting activates with track power. An 8-ohm speaker is installed to simplify adding a DCC sound decoder, and the model features an ABS body with a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort and stable, smooth operation. The precision drive mechanism supports heavy towing and reliable slow-speed performance, all-wheel electrical pickup, and prototypically accurate painting with road numbers and multiple separately applied details such as grab irons, horns, and bells. Two MicroTrains-compatible couplers are included for easy integration with rolling stock, and it runs on Code 55, 70, and 80 rails with a minimum radius of 9 inches.
