I know that Kato produced an NW-2, Im not sure when they were last available. Try looking around at swap meets or on Ebay you should be able to find one.

The NW2 looks like most EMD switchers, if I recall correctly, only the NW5 looked different.

Take a look at:

Kato might make an NW2... ask around. It could be just in N scale though.

If you want to kitbash one, a very good reference is Kalmbach's book "Diesel Locomotives-The first 50 Years".
