Hmm, instead of buying a SW1, I could make my TE1A into one. The TE1A's have a bigger boiler too! Anyone got a SW1 to scrap???

Can't say I'd want to scrap any of my SW1's!

I have seen 'em on ebay in very poor condition once in a while.

The TE1A's do have bigger boilers Jim, they are longer, but not wider. I think the SW1's use SR1A boilers (the experts can confirm this)
