Check out R. Craig Rutherford's Diesel Shop site at http://www.thedieselshop.us/ There is production data and dimensional data there.

I believe the Diesel Spotters Guide Update book addresses the SW1200/1500.

I found the Yard Limit Reference page.  A lot of good stuff there.

 Also found the Diesel Data Series, but it only covers:

 GP49; SD24; GP15; BL12; SD45; FA-2;

 No SW locos; No S-1/S-6 series; No GP20, GP35, etc.

 Too Bad.

Diesel Locomotive Cyclopedia (out of print), contains most 1st and 2nd diesels.

Are there any books that treat the subject of SW 1200 and SW 1500 type locomotives? 

Looking for a good reference work and history.  Anything out there?
