176-4377-DCC EMD NW2 Switcher Burlington Northern 534 - DCC-Fitted
EMD’s NW2 switcher’s lifetime was nearly cut short just three years after its introduction, with the establishment of the War Production Board in 1942, which dictated that EMD was to halt all production of switching locomotives, manufacturing only road diesels during the years of 1942 to 1945. However, such was the popularity of this end cab switching locomotive that after the restriction was lifted, the NW2 sprung back as many railroads placed orders for this little 1000hp powerhouse; today these locomotives can still be found enjoying continued service in rail yards.
1:160 Scale model of a EMD NW2 Diesel Locomotive decorated in Burlington Northern livery. This model features lots of expertly applied details as based on the prototype, a high level of body detail and excellent running characteristics.
