Model Railroading > The Soon to be Released HO Proto SD9

Deep Throat tells me

Just want too give you the heads up on those proto sd9es coming out,that light package is going to be odd looking like the gp35 because they are lighting the emergency red Gyra lights.

I responded with

Too bad they are sacrificing detail accuracy to light up something that was rarely (prototypically) lit anyways.

Does deep throat have any thing to day about the upcoming SW1200s?

Hmmn, The GP35 and SD9 use a completely different style of light package..

They were delayed until next year.

So the SW1200s went from Jan to July and are now 2019? Bummer. Walthers is like Intermountain now.

It will be worth the wait. Lots of new upgrades to them being done.

3/2019. I have 3 on pre-order.

Thanks for the update. I'm sure they will be worth wait and I'd like to get the sound equipped for my yard.

Cheers, Jim

Yes, but not in the regard that the red emergency light protrudes above the roofline, which has an impact in how they are illuminated on a model.

Perhaps it is due to the Rapido model coming out before theirs, and the amount they raised the bar as to detail. It is a smart move on their part.
