O BTO SW1 Turtle Creek #462

One of the first switchers offered by Electro-Motive Corporation, the SW-1 has
enjoyed a history of long service and a reputation for reliability and simplicity. EMC/
EMD built 661 of this model between 1938 and 1953 with production interrupted
during WWII. Dozens of railroads and industries purchased the model. On more than
one occasion, an SW-1 would be the first diesel on the roster. Producing 600 hp, the
SW1 remains a perfect option for light switching duties in industries, coach yards or
even excursion trains.
Bringing the SW-1 into our line, Lionel has made extensive upgrades to offer this
locomotive with many sought-after features. The SW-1 now features for the first time
LEGACY and Bluetooth control, LEGACY RailSounds, fan-driven smoke and fixed pilots.
A single-motor drive coupled with our Odyssey II speed control combine to give
reliable slow-speed performance to help you spot those cars. With so many paint
options available it was hard to settle on just these few, but this selection offers a
good perspective on the prototype’s history with paint schemes from the 1930s to
the present day on railroads and industries large and small.
