Yes, indeed.

Here is the story. Gaetan had created an SW1500 (CN). I took that model, heavily modified it to make an SW1, NW2 and SW7. Gaetan then took my SW7 model back, improved it and updated it to cover SW7, SW9/SW900, SW1200 and he's now looking at Cow/Calf versions.

I just took the updated SW1200, swapped out the bogies (NH used Flexicoil), added the Hancock Air Whistles. Good to go Wink

Rick

SW9/SW900


The SW9 and the SW900 were two different animals. The SW900 had just one exhaust stack and was the successor to the SW8.

Thanks, Ross.

I like your attached photos as well, though someone at railpictures.net needs to do their homework...

Reading 2714 is a BALDWIN VO-1000, not an EMD SW 1200 Razz

See the two stacks? It has the guts of an SW1200 and was reclassified SW1200M when it was rebuilt from a VO-1000 in 1959.
