Introduction

Broadway Limited Imports 3323 HO Scale EMD SW1500 Southern Pacific SP 2621 Paragon2

NOS (New Old Stock)

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.

This model, of course, maintains our high standard for quality and detail. Beyond the high level of detail, these DC and DCC-Sound equipped locomotives feature the Paragon2 sound and control system. Each Paragon2 locomotive comes with BLI’s own integral DCC Decoder factory installed. Paragon2 locomotives offer Dual Mode DC and DCC operation with: superb back EMF motor control in DC and DCC, recordable DCC operation for automated playback, the same detail level as the original Paragon Series, and the familiar sturdy maroon box!

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!
