Walthers 920-41491 HO Scale Proto2000 SW8/900 Locomotive Baltimore & Ohio #9409 EX/Box

This is Walthers 920-41491 HO Scale Proto2000 SW8/900 Locomotive Baltimore & Ohio #9409. Limited Edition.
WalthersProto EMD SW900 with QSI sound & DCC PROTO 2000®. Baltimore & Ohio #9409 (blue, yellow, B&O on hood). Introduced by EMD in 1950, the SW8 offered railroads and industry a rugged and reliable unit for switching chores, replacing the last of steam or earlier diesel switchers still in service. Powered by the famed 567B, the engines delivered 800 horsepower. In 1954, industry demand for a more powerful switcher led EMD to introduce the SW900, producing 100 additional horsepower from the 567C prime mover. Outwardly, these units (and the SW600 of which only 15 were built) were virtually identical. Production ended in late 1965 with a combined total of 743 engines. Well into the 1980s, these early switchers served railroads large and small and some remain in industrial service today.

Its key features are:
Roadname-specific detailing
Heavy die cast chassis for maximum traction
5-pole skew-wound armature motor
Helical gears for silent running
Machined-brass flywheels
Low speed under 3 scale MPH
LED constant & directional headlights
Proto MAX™ metal knuckle couplers

Detailed to match Phase 2 units in service from the late 1960s to 1986 with:
5 louvers per side on battery box
3 lift lugs per side on hood
Dual lens headlight
Numberboard on radiator grille
2-color 3-stanchion front & rear end handrails
Standard size fuel tank
Leslie S-2M horn
Open step risers
Whip antenna
Spark arrestor
Square truck journal boxes
Front & rear pilot grab irons
Footboards on pilots
