Rapido HO Scale Canadian Pacific EMD SW9 #7403 – Block Scheme
Add a classic Canadian Pacific diesel switcher to your HO scale railroad with the Rapido Trains EMD SW9 CP #7403. Finished in Canadian Pacific's distinctive block lettering scheme, this highly detailed locomotive represents the compact, hardworking switchers used in Canadian railroad yards, industrial districts, and local freight service.
Canadian Pacific's SW9 locomotives were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, during the early 1950s. Powered by the EMD 567B diesel engine, these 1,200-horsepower switchers were well suited for moving freight cars through busy terminals and serving industries along the railroad's extensive network.
Rapido recreates the Canadian Pacific SW9 with railroad-specific details, a finely detailed cab interior, etched metal components, and a heavy die-cast chassis for dependable operation. This DCC/Sound version features a factory-installed ESU LokSound decoder for realistic diesel sounds and digital locomotive control.
