Lionel 2333490 O Scale Legacy EMD NW2 Diesel Switcher Burlington Northern BN 497 – BTO
Representing late production NW2’s, these locomotives shared many details with the slightly more modern SW7. The primary spotting features of the arched cab windows and shorter front radiator intake remained however, to tell them apart from the SW models. Delivered in the 1950s, there are still representatives of this type in active service today.
The perfect switcher for your yards or locals, Lionel’s NW2 features numerous road-specific details, including handrail placement and roof details. Unparalleled slow-speed performance and sounds deliver the experience of a hard day’s work switching on the railroad. Road names and paint schemes offered on this run range from the 1950s to the 2000s – something for everyone!
