From November 1950 to December of 1953, nearly 800 SW9s were built in the LaGrange production facility. Meanwhile, in London, Ontario, GMDD rolled out 29 for Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. The SW9 was outfitted with the popular 567B prime mover, while a handful received the upgraded 567BC motors that would later be the power of the SW1200 series. A staggering 69 railroads (industrial, short lines and class one roads) would purchase the SW9! The Illinois Central received 70 SW9s, which was the largest order of the production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"UYHTOKP\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Rapido Trains HO scale SW9 locomotive features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Highly detailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through metal etched parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany road-specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy diecast frame \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast gearboxes for added weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapido Semi Scale metal couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Full LED lighting, including: operating beacons\/flashing lights where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC\/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC\/DCC\/ESU LokSound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeaturing the Rapido MoPower capacitor\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eCanadian National Post-1954 Scheme\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur third addition is the Canadian National Post-1954 Scheme.
