Common Trains Run on the Layout - Wrecking Trains

A wrecking crane car and wrecking caboose are always occupying the track around the turntable that allows a switcher engine to pull it from the spur track, across the TT and go into action when a train wreck occurs. This a quick response train.

I like the Lionel 8516, O-4-O switcher, it is good runner. It is usually in one of the Round House stalls ready to go.

I also use the Lionel 8310, O-4-O switcher, older to me.

And the even older to me, Marx 400, O-4-O switcher.

A Lionel 8111 NW-2 switcher is also available to pull the Wrecking Train.
