The author describes a bit of history about these two switchers, and then describes how he modeled them. For the SW7 he used an undecorated Athearn model as a starting point. For the SW9 he used the Life-Like Proto2000 PRR model. The article includes model photos, detail drawings, prototype photos of both engines, and tables listing the PRR roster of both engines.
