BN then purchased their own SW1000’s shortly thereafter. In 1996 that fleet was then absorbed into the BNSF roster while retaining the BN green and white paint scheme. That BN heritage is clearly demonstrated in this Primed For Grime release. Many of the SW1000’s retained their green paint up until retirement from the BNSF roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSW1000 LOCOMOTIVE NEW FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperating ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNewly designed can motor is more powerful and quieter than before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDCC-ready models feature 21-pin plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDCC \u0026amp; sound models feature Tsunami2 sound with dual cube speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLED lighting for long life and reliable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSW1000 LOCOMOTIVE STANDARD FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLit ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExhaust stack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrinted numberboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSignal hoses with silver glad hands unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFront and rear trainline hoses with silver glad hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeparately applied wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSee through radiator intake grille and cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLow or high mounted windshield wipers per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRectangular or oval builder’s plate where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeparately applied Air tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImproved 5-pole skew wound can motor with flywheels and multi-link drivetrain for with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWindow packaging for easy viewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHighly-detailed, injection molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFully assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInterior plastic blister safely holds the model for convenient storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRIMED FOR GRIME MODELS FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuplicated look and feel of “In Service” equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaded base colors matched to the prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect starting point for adding grime and rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn EMD SW1000 is a 4 axle diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1966 and October 1972. Power was provided by an EMD 645E 8-cylinder engine which generated 1,000 horsepower. This locomotive was built on the same common frame as the EMD SW1500, giving it an overall length of 44 feet 8 inches. Over one-third of SW1000 production went to the Burlington Northern Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SW1000 was taller than previous EMD switchers, which posed a problem for industrial customers: at many facilities, tight clearances existed, and the SW1000 exceeded them. As a result, most production went to railroads, not industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e114 EMD SW1000 units were built for railroads and industrial operations in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49785850691840,"sku":"ATH86742","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/ATH86742_A0_P3AXLUHE_52a4c507-0e2c-4e8c-bd13-8758205b6a2b.jpg?v=1789754977","url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-ho-scale-sw1000-bnsf-ex-bn-3617-dc","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
