BN then purchased their own SW1000’s shortly thereafter. In 1996 that fleet was then absorbed into the BNSF roster while retaining the BN green and white paint scheme. That BN heritage is clearly demonstrated in this Primed For Grime release. Many of the SW1000’s retained their green paint up until retirement from the BNSF roster. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSW1000 LOCOMOTIVE NEW FEATURES: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOperating ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eNewly designed can motor is more powerful and quieter than before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready models feature 21-pin plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDCC \u0026amp; sound models feature Tsunami2 sound with dual cube speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLED lighting for long life and reliable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSW1000 LOCOMOTIVE STANDARD FEATURES: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLit ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eExhaust stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePrinted numberboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSignal hoses with silver glad hands unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFront and rear trainline hoses with silver glad hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSee through radiator intake grille and cab windows \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLow or high mounted windshield wipers per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRectangular or oval builder’s plate where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied Air tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eImproved 5-pole skew wound can motor with flywheels and multi-link drivetrain for with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eWindow packaging for easy viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed, injection molded body \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFully assembled and ready-to-run \u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eInterior plastic blister safely holds the model for convenient storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18” \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOnboard Tsunami2 DCC\/Sound decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCube Speaker for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSome functions are limited in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOperating lighting functions with F5 and\/or F6 (Flashing ditch lights, beacon, etc)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eExcellent low-speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePRIMED FOR GRIME MODELS FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDuplicated look and feel of “In Service” equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFaded base colors matched to the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePerfect starting point for adding grime and rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn EMD SW1000 is a 4 axle diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1966 and October 1972. Power was provided by an EMD 645E 8-cylinder engine which generated 1,000 horsepower. This locomotive was built on the same common frame as the EMD SW1500, giving it an overall length of 44 feet 8 inches. Over one-third of SW1000 production went to the Burlington Northern Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SW1000 was taller than previous EMD switchers, which posed a problem for industrial customers: at many facilities, tight clearances existed, and the SW1000 exceeded them. As a result, most production went to railroads, not industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e114 EMD SW1000 units were built for railroads and industrial operations in the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently 2 EMD SW1000 units are owned and operated by VIA Rail Canada in the Montreal Maintenance Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43088229466175,"sku":"ATH-86841-PRE","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/ATH86841_A0_0QFU3B2J_5ac6814a-895b-4734-b485-324a9877841e.jpg?v=1775882484","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-ho-ath86841-sw1000-w-dcc-sound-bnsf-3609","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
