O Scale SW1 Switcher

Offering models from remaining inventory

The photos are of models completed. They are offered unpainted and wired to run on DC only. Painted models are noted by who did the paint job. I delivered the models starting in late June 2023. Thanks to the people who pre ordered the models. Your deposits made the project possible. I received 21 prepaid orders and built three other custom models for a total of 24 models. I am offering the models again on a first come first serve basis until any remaining etching inventory is gone. The models need to be assembled, I do not have completed models in stock. Assembly will take around 8 weeks.

The prototype had a long production run and long service life. As a result there are many variations in details. It is not the intent of this model to address all these variations but a few major variations can be accommodated. The model can be had with arched cab windows or rectangle cab windows. The sloped hood at the cab can be had as a sloped hood or stepped hood. Lastly the head lights can be the older style single, a modified single using sealed beam lights, or later twin seal beam variety. They can be supplied in O Scale or P:48 track gauge. The brake shoes and slack adjuster are the same nylon type of material as the gear box. This was done to prevent shorting if the brake shoe or slack adjuster touch the wheels. The trucks are equalized. There are nylon type mounts for electrical wipers that contact the back of the wheels.

The models are made entirely in the United States from all new patters and etching art work. These models will be assembled by me and sold through my S Scale Track Works web site. These are O Scale models. For convenience I will be running all transactions through the S Scale Track Works web site. The models will require a deposit of $700.00 when ordering a model. The models will be shipped in the order that the deposits are received. The balance is due when the model is shipped.
