"DCC & Sound
Upgradeable" Units denoted as DCC & Sound
Upgradeable are units that are not sound equipped and function only in
DC. Modelers may choose to purchase an optional Sound & DCC upgrade
kit, specifically tailored to the prototype which will add DCC and sound
functionality. Upgrade kit works only for PCM models with PCM
motherboards.
EMD produced 807 of the 12-cylinder SW1500
switchers between 1966 and 1974. These prolific switchers are easily recognized
by their high mounted walkways, tall-low radius arched roof cab, dual exhaust
stacks and a long hood headlight. The SW's were offered with either the
standard AAR type A or the optional Flexicoil designed trucks. More than half of
the railroads chose the Flexicoil trucks.
EMD's SW1500 was a very capable switcher
that saw distinguished duty for many railroads. Precision Craft's SW1500 is
ready for duty on your layout. Like all PCM locomotives, the EMD SW1500 looks,
operates, and sounds great!
