NewAthearn SW1500

[wvsecondary]

I was fortunate enough to look on Horizon's website the day the new SW1500's came out and I was able to pick up 2 undecs. I say fortunate as I had attempted to preorder these through three different sources including Horizon's website and was told they were sold out.
Well I received these beauties today and must say you will not be disappointed from the look of these units. Now I haven't gotten the calipers out but overall look is superb. With the undec you get both main sideframe options as well as cab interion and section to change to single stack sw1000 midsection.

I was drueling over the BN 1500's and 1000's the other day at the LHS. Awesome detail, even though my plans dont call for a switcher, could add one in on a freight transfering it out!!!

I got the BNSF New image SW1000 coming! Can't wait (though I don't get it until my anniversary in May).

I pre-ordered a PC unit from the 2nd run - it'll become a nice patchwork working for my CR fleet :-)
