Yeah - Athearn made a SW7 for the Rock Island - trouble is, the RI never had any !!! Typical Athearn "research". Having said that, the SW7/9/1200 series are all close to each other. The main difference is louver placement - SW7s (orginally) had full height with a horizional strip for lettering, SW9s and 1200s are only half height. I don't know what the Athearn model looks like, but you could "make do" or modify for a SW1200. Me, I have a P2K RI SW9.
