HO ATH SW1500 Locomotive w/DCC & Sound, Legendary Liveries PE #2444

The Southern Pacific had many subsidiary railroads, and some were more independent than others, like the Cotton Belt for example. Pacific Electric had been a subsidiary of the company for many years but was fully absorbed in the early 1960’s. But suppose they had remained a subsidiary, and an independent-minded one too. When SP went shopping for new switchers in the late 1960’s they bought EMD SW1500’s for themselves and Cotton Belt. Maybe they picked a few for the PE too and PE, being independent minded decided to commemorate their Red Car days and painted some up in their famous red paint scheme. We think that they might have looked something like this.
