	EMD SW1 - Trains.com Forums
		Back in the 60's, Lindburg had a SW1 - not too bad, but the drive was a spring belt afair and it really did not run all that good.
		The SW1 is built on the same frame, but the cab/car body is much shorter.
		The only operating problem I have noted is that it tends to wobble at low speeds (although it does crawl quite well) because the universal joint is basically a length of rubber tubing--although Walthers makes a replacement universal joint to eliminate the problem.

	Definition of EMD SW1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		All later units were delivered with EMD's standard conical switcher stack, while early units were generally modified with taller stacks too.
		The sandbox in front of the radiator is somewhat smaller on the SW1.
		Compared to later and switchers, the SW1 has a much shorter hood, large platforms at each end, only a single stack, and all later models lack the "satchel" sandbox in front.

		The EMD SW1 was a 600 hp diesel-electric switcher locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between January 1939 and November 1953.
		The SW1 was the second generation of lightweight switcher from EMD, succeeding the SW and SC.
		The SW1 appears very similar to its SW and SC predecessors, but has only a single stack instead of two, a significantly shorter hood and a larger rear platform, no small louvres on the front top hood sides, and a large grille instead of lifting vents on top of the hood front.

	Switcher Replacement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Unfortunately, as with the case of the SW1’s, EMD was unable to deliver the units when WP management wanted them so the order was canceled in June 1945.
		These units were interesting in that they were erected at EMD’s Cleveland, Ohio, locomotive works, not at its La Grange, Illinois, facility.
		The exceptions were their three EMD SW1500’s, purchased from La Grange in 1973.
