Looking for the rebuilt switcher that served Union Pacific and many others for over twenty years? In the late 1970s UP had to replace or rebuild its aging SW7, SW9 and TR5A switchers. With new units at a premium, the Omaha Shops rebuilt the old ones in small batches between 1979 and 1984: 645 power assemblies, all-new wiring, two 36" fans salvaged from GP9s housed in a unique hood hump, a new sand box on the nose, and an FRA clean-cab interior with AAR control stand — and a refrigerator. The 75 SW10s later scattered to Ferromex, Canadian Pacific, shortlines and lessors; the most famous, ex-UP 1243 renumbered 96, served the Cheyenne steam program before being donated to the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in 2017.
This model depicts the Union Pacific SW10 in its late configuration, with small cab herald and late pilot stripes. No. 96, ex-1243 assigned to the Cheyenne steam program, carries the program's herald, a Leslie RS5T horn on the roof and Harbor Mist stacks; 1214 has a black cab number with no herald; 1273 rides on Harbor Mist trucks. Factory-installed ESU LokSound DCC and sound decoder and Mo-Power system. Six road numbers are offered. Pre-order.
