Paragon2 EMD SW1500 Switcher

New Page 1

 

Overview of BLI's EMD SW1500:


Between 1966 and 1974, EMD produced 807 of the 12-cylinder SW1500 switchers.  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.  EMD offered the SW's with either the standard AAR type A trucks or the optional Flexicoil designed trucks.  More than half of the railroads chose the Flexicoil trucks.


Our model of course maintains our high standard for quality and detail.  Beyond the high level of detail, our SW1500's come equipped with our new state-of-the-art sound system - Paragon2. The Paragon2 sound and control system allows you to operate your model in DC or DCC out-of-the-box.  With the Paragon2 sound and control system, the switcher offers authentic SW1500 switcher sounds, and provides the operator with excellent slow-speed control unrivaled in the industry today. Along with authentic NW2 sounds, our model also has some fun features like user-controllable crew chatter and yard noise.  You can continue reading below for additional details of the model and of the Paragon2 sound and control system.



EMD's SW1500 was a  capable switcher that saw distinguished duty for many railroads.  BLI's model is ready for duty on your layout, and like all BLI locomotives, she looks, operates, and sounds great!
