N Scale North American LocomotivesEMD NW2 Switcher - Southern Pacific Tiger Stripe Stock #: Road Number: 1315 Roadname Specific Detailing • Conical smoke stacks• Distinctive striped paint scheme• Phase 1 Riveted Air tanks About the Southern Pacific EMD NW2 The EMD NW2 is a 1,000 horsepower yard switcher, its distinctive twin-stack profile and short radiator creating a distinctive silhouette. Perhaps ironic, considering its 1000 horsepower engine, the N in NW2 stood for nine hundred horsepower, with the W designating that it was a welded frame locomotive, instead of a cast frame. The Southern Pacific introduced the NW2 to its yards along with a few other 1000 hp switchers in 1942, their first diesel switchers and a replacement for the 0-6-0 steam locomotives running their yards at the time. Diesel switchers such as the NW2 offered low speed, high tractive effort while still exerting 30,000 pounds of tractive effort at 10 mph. Model Features: All locomotives will be equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers Locomotives feature directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards. Sophisticated lightpiping keeps the visible cab interior free of lighting equipment.
