HO ATH SW1500 Locomotive GN #200 (ATH-2518)
HO Scale EMD SW1500 Switcher Locomotive, GN road number 200. This detailed HO model faithfully reproduces the four-axle diesel switcher General Motors' EMD built between 1966 and 1974, delivering 1,500 horsepower from an EMD 645E engine. Modeled on the SW1000 frame, the SW1500 carries a bulkier carbody and two exhaust stacks for an authentic silhouette in yards or industrial settings. Dressed in GN livery, the locomotive offers a classic, era-appropriate addition to a freight roster and is ready to pull cars around a home layout.
On the bench, it’s built for reliability and smooth operation on both DC and DCC layouts. It features LED lighting for long life, working ground lights, see-through radiator grilles and cab windows, and fine details such as separately applied grab irons, wire handrails, MU hoses, and silver trainline hoses. The model rides on RP25-contoured wheels with McHenry scale knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee standards, and uses all-wheel drive with a quiet, powerful five-pole skew-wound motor with flywheels. It’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology via a 21-pin NEM connector, and some versions include onboard SoundTraxx Econami sound for engine, horn, and bell effects that operate in both DC and DCC. With an 18-inch minimum radius, this SW1500 is suitable for a wide range of layouts, bringing authentic switcher capability to yards, industrial trackage, or mainline approaches.
