Kato-like Switcher

[PrairieTrains]

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer that makes a CB&Q Switcher in HO similar to the one pictured? The picture is of a Kato N-Scale unit. I've looked everywhere - seen an HO version? Thanks, Pat

http://www.amherst-depot.com/nwkatohoscale.htm Kato themselves made the NW2 in HO, including in Burlington black, but that was back in 1994.

BLI makes the SW7/late NW2 in HO; the SW7 came in Burlington black.

Check the Athearn SW1000 coming out this April.

It is very similar with the exception that it is lettered "Burlington" on the hood sides.

I have a P2K CB&Q switcher exactly like that in HO Scale (road #9217 I think). I am trying to get rid of it. It has a factory dcc decoder and I installed a LED in the front (since the bulb died) Some of the handrails broke, but aren't broken off the engine so if you're looking to get a used one cheap, send me an offer via PM.

It runs very good and has kadee couplers. The shell is a bit loose because I broke one of the tabs holding it down while replacing the bulb, but it stays on while it's upright (just don't grab it by the hood)
