shortliner Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Walthers has announced a reissue of their prior EMD SW-1 switcher, but now with an all-new drive/chassis. Just $99 MSRP, so expect some discounting on this, hopefully. http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?category=Locomotive&scale=H&manu=walthers&item=&keywords=sw1&words=restrict&instock=Q&split=270&Submit=Search * Limited Edition -- One Time Run of These Roadnumbers! * Prototypes in Service 1930s Thru Mid-70s -- Some Still Operating Today * Factory-Installed 8-Pin DCC Harness All-New Drive Mechanism: * Helical-Cut Gears for Quiet Operating & Easy Multiple Unit Operation * 5-Pole Skew-Wound Armature Motor * All-Wheel Drive & Electrical Pickup * Dual Machined Brass Flywheels * Directional Lighting * Heavy Die Cast Chassis * Correct 40" Turned Metal Wheelsets * Proto MAX Metal Knuckle Couplers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Good to see that back on the market, and not too scary a price either! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigZ Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Something's horribly wrong. It's not $200. Must be a Friday the 13th glitch The old shell is a pretty decent shell...the old models ran well once you swapped out the too-stiff flex tubing...
