I think I figured out the answer to my question. The SW1200 replaced (I
believe) the SW9 in the catalog. Both units were 1200hp, but the SW1200 used
the 567C while the SW9 used the 567B. Externally, the SW9 and SW1200 were
virtually the same. LifeLike released an SW9/1200 in the P2K line, but with
SW1200 numbers. Is this going to be a re-release with an SW9 number this time
around?

I can answer the first part of that question. Yes, the Q only had 2 SW9's.
That leads to the question of why. Were they unhappy with them? Power needs
were sufficient at that time? I'll take a look at some more info when I get
home and see if I can dig up anything else, unless someone beats me to it. I
hadn't seen that announcement yet, but I look forward to possibly adding one to
my growing roster. Now if I only had a place to run them...

Subject: [CBQ] CBQ SW9 Question
I found a Q diesel locomotive roster that listed two SW9s numbered 9269 and
9270 with build dates in 1951. Does anyone know if these were the only Q
SW9s, and where these motors were assigned?
The question comes from the fact that Walthers has announced a run of SW9s
including the Blackbird scheme. I'd much rather they were SW1s, since SW1s
were much more prolific on the Q than SW9s, but I guess we're at the mercy
of the manufactuers and should be thankful for anything in the Blackbird
scheme.
