Otter Valley Railroad Celebrates 20 Years!!

OVR started as simple idea of being a small mail orders and customer referral business in 2003, started by the James family. In the years preceding, we have grown from a small company to one of the largest model train shops in Canada, now manufacturing our own product. We are still that mom and pop Shoppe, that we always have been.

Thank you for the continued business.

Otter Valley Railroad and the James Family

The EMD SW900 is a diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and General Motors Diesel (GMD) between December 1953 and March 1969.[1] Power was provided by an EMD 567C 8-cylinder engine that generated 900 horsepower (670 kW). Built concurrently with the SW1200, the eight-cylinder units had a single exhaust stack. The last two SW900s built by GMD for British Columbia Hydro were built with 8 cylinder 645E engines rated at 1,000 horsepower (750 kW).

260 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads and 97 were built for Canadian railroads. Canadian production of the SW900 lasted three and a half years past EMD production
