Introducing the SW9-1200 PROTO THROttle-Equipped WABASH 376 2-6-0 Switcher Locomotive from Atlas O Scale Trains in HO Scale. This intricately detailed model is part of Atlas' PROTO Series, which features the latest in Model Railroad Technology.

To accommodate modelers using DC power, a TCS DS140 digitally-controlled turnout control unit is included, allowing for the operation of turnouts in HO scale layouts.
Adding to the realism, the WABASH 376 features separately applied coupler cut levers, three-piece hoods with tool boxes, fully-assembled and painted brake wheels, and separately applied safety chains. The locomotive's handrails, walkway grates, and hoses are also separately applied and painted for added detail. The model comes with E8 coupling hook with electricalcontact for use on the Sanke coupler pocket.
The PROTO THROttle-Equipped SW9-1200 can be run onDC power, but when used in DCC mode, it offers numerous advanced features for the serious model railroader. These features include independently controlled directional and continuous lighting, programmable sound, and individually addressed burners and beacons. The decoder offers 128 different sound functions, recording and playback capabilities, prerecorded steam sounds, and motorized fans for a more immersive experience.
