One of the American diesel locomotives obtained during April 2012, this locomotive is an example of the venerable SW1 diesel switchers built by EMD in the 1930s and 1940s. This example was obtained cheaply as a working locomotive, and has proven to be a very interesting-looking locomotive, with several comparisons being drawn between it and No.7401. With a bell, a fully-functional headlamp, and a somewhat substantial weight, this locomotive is of a lesser quality but does have some decent features in its favour.

The side of the locomotive, showing its lineage as an AT&SF diesel locomotive - Atchinson, Topeka, and Santa Fe. The mechanism in this diesel is very basic, and upon first trials it was unclear if the locomotive was even able to operate at all - it appeared to stall at the slightest touch. Fortunately, it was merely the couplings catching on the sleepers, which was quickly rectified. The rear coupler is weak, but the front coupler is still fairly strong - allowing the locomotive to operate trains in normal fashion. Fortunately, though the locomotive is simple in design and construction, maintenance is the same way.

The cab of the locomotive, showing the company information and running number. Lower in detail and quality, but simple to work with, the diesel is an excellent one for training crews.

The rear of the locomotive, showing the large handrails, weak rear coupler and overall looks of the locomotive - simple, cheap, yet accurate in many ways and respectful to the prototype.

The front of the locomotive, showing off the headlamp and bell. Overall a simple, cheap locomotive that will provide basic service time and again - exactly the job it was designed to do.
