I have an Athearn model of ROCK 947, a SW1500. How many SW1500's did the Rock roster, and were they all painted in the blue/white ROCK scheme?? Thanks for any info.
Glen, according to the Rock Island Technical Society, only units 940, 945 and 947 received the blue "ROCK" scheme. You can check their website at:

The specific link for the SW1500 write up is...

Finally, is this what you are referring to?
