The EMD NW2 is a 1,000 hp diesel locomotive primarily built for switching operations in railyards across North America. These iconic switcher locomotives were manufactured by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois, and produced between February 1939 and December 1949. EMD produced over 1,100 NW2s for North American railroads, making this switching locomotive one of the most successful switchers in railroad history. The NW2 featured EMD's new 12-cylinder, 567A prime mover and measured 44 feet long with a standard B-B truck arrangement.

Typical distinguishing features of the NW2 switching locomotives include two stacks in the middle of the hood, a half-height radiator grill on the front, characteristic absence of a sand box on the front platform, no small louvers at the front corners, and curved tops of front cab windows that match the curve of the roof. Broadway Limited's N scale models capture these authentic details with 10 prototypical paint schemes from major North American railroads. Each model is equipped with the newest Paragon4 DC/DCC Sound & Control System for superior performance and authentic switching sounds.
