Hi All
I am building an HO scale model of an SW1002 (Before you ask, it IS an EMD switcher! Spoornet class 36). I'm looking around for a suitable mechanism and parts donor from a US style switcher from the EMD switcher range, and have hit a snag - I have a LifeLike SW9/1200, and an Athearn (SW1000? SW1500? I have no idea), and the hood widths are very different. The LifeLike model has a much wider hood than the Athearn model.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a website that shows the principal dimensions of the EMD SW range?
regards
Frank
