Help me find a P2K SW
Author: trainworm

Question for y'all, i am looking for an HO scale Proto 2000 SW locomotive, but i need one with the arched looking handrails on the end and roller bearing trucks.  Did they make any like that?  All the ones i am seeing either have roller bearings and straight end rails, or friction bearings and arched handrails.  If i could somehow track down an undecorated one, did they come with bolth styles of handrails and trucks?

Need a couple so i can build some more Galveston Wharves SW1001s

I think the stepped end rails are associated with the MU option. I have a pair of B&O's with that appearance. However, I have never seen a Proto 2000 SW with roller-bearing trucks, although I believe Smoky Mt makes replacement sideframes for Athearn, which could be adapted to the Proto.

Incidentally, the CNJ 1092 model you have pictured has the MU option. The prototype 1092 did not.
