What's with this new-fangled remote control? In my day, an engineer and a fireman rode in the cab.

you know model trains are cheaper...

SW-9s are quite rare nowadays; is it common to refit them for remote control? And I thought the law said you had to have warning lights on a remote control locomotive.

[CSX6000]

@douro20 That's what the strobe lights are for. They weren't on for testing purposes.

That is so cool, love that roots blower!,thanks for sharing

[uberstupidmove]

These old engines could be controlled via air pressure, in the event you needed more than one in a consist for power, is this controlled with air pressure?

Years ago when I worked for JC's daddy I figured JC would wind upwith the world's biggest model Railroad! LOL Nice job on the loco JC! congrats!

[GenesisSanctuary]

Awesome!

[DirectorGuy13]

Very nice!

[railfan101]

Cool! I like the paint scheme! It's nice that this vintage classic is still in service, now as an RC locomotive! And a nice horn too!

[boberttrain831]

Awesome!

[ekoslosky]

GREAT! I think that looks like a SW8 because I think SW9's have 2 smoke stacks. That one only has 1 smoke stack.

[colindhowell]

@ekoslosky Title says its an SW900, which is a slightly more powerful version of the SW8, and also has 1 exhaust stack. It's definitely not an SW9, which has 2 stacks as you said.

[CMLovejoy]

Thats Awesome.

[TKDMaster20114]
