CN's SW9 fleet, numbered 7000-series, served the system as yard switchers and short-line locals through the 1970s. The Post-1954 black scheme is CN's basic in-house paint job after the 1954 livery rationalisation — black with yellow markings and the early CN \"map maple-leaf\" emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype:\u003c\/strong\u003e EMD SW9 (1200 hp end-cab switcher, 1950–1953)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRailroad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canadian National (CN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad number:\u003c\/strong\u003e #7001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Post-1954 black with yellow markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDCC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory-installed DCC + sound decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapido detail features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly detailed cab interior, see-through metal-etched parts, road-specific details, heavy diecast frame and gearbox housings for added weight, Rapido scale metal couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapido SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27612\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Rapido Trains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canadian model-railroad manufacturer (Markham, Ontario) founded in 2005 by Jason Shron.
