Rock Island SW9/SW1200
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2022 9:03 amI have sent to Chacal a repaint of the DTM DRGW SW1200 for the library.
Edit : After a Senior Moment (or so) I failed to send this to Chacal, who kindly advised me and I have now done so. Delay is all my fault, sorry.
Rock Island had a motley collection of switchers this is a repaint of the DTM DRGW SW1200 into the livery carried longest by the SW9s and SW1200 in the RI roster. Very similar to look at the main difference between SW9 and SW1200 was that the SW1200 could be supplied (as an option) with multiple unit (mu) connections at one or both ends the SW9 was not so fitted. They were of the same power rating. All RI SW1200s were fitted with MU connections at both ends.
The repaint is auto numbered and for the purposes of this model no discrimination between SW9 and SW1200 has been made
but for your reference, should you want to mu locos, the SW9s were numbered : 775-780, 900-915 and the SW1200s 920-936,
these are the numbers available on this model. Crewed and non-crewed versions are supplied.
