I can't let Gaetan get ALL the attention!

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

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  _________________ Rick Franzosa - ZosaTrains

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. |
