Description

EMD NW2 Burlington Northern #543 - Analogue/DC

 

Prototype Information:

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.

 

Model Information:

Kato’s own N scale NW2 replicates each and every rivet of prototype detail with pinpoint precision, while emphasizing low-speed, high-power pulling. It also features directional headlights (without any of the lightpiping equipment intruding on the interior cab detail), low profile wheels, illuminated numberboards, and Kato magnetic knuckle couplers.

Model Features:

  • All locomotives will be equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
  • Locomotives feature directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards.
  • Sophisticated lightpiping keeps the visible cab interior free of lighting equipment.
  • Interior cab can be populated with N scale figures from KatoUSA's N Yard Crew Day/Night set, #24-270
  • All new motor and mechanism design
  • Locomotive is DCC friendly, able to take drop in decoders such as Digitrax DN123K3 or Train Control Systems K3D3.

  1. Chris White (verified owner)

    My Kato NW2 Burling Northern switcher arrived, I gave it a test run and found it quiet and smooth, but being Kato I expected nothing less.
    The paint work is crisp with no overruns and number and lettering is very clear . The detail is excellent with the very fine handrails, the bogies are clear and the rivets can be picked out, a very nice model which will be well used in a freight yard. I will eventually fit a decoder and run it DCC.

  2. Chris White (verified owner)

    I expected nothing less than an excellent model from Kato and was not disappointed it ran sweetly on my small piece of test track. and the service from Tran Trax was as good as normal, receiving the model in a few days, and very well packed, I have since ordered a second model
