Post 56 Small Engines Used on the Layout
A little eye candy for a slow forum day and a stormy day here.
There are several small engines operated on the layout.
Two are Dockside switchers, 0-4-0 types.
The one below is MTH 840 Jersey Central dockside switcher. This is a well made, heavy metal body and great running little engine, by far my best small engine.

Hey Charlie,
I have one of the MTH switchers, too. I could be wrong and I don't have it right in front of me right now, but isn't the boiler shell plastic? Either way, I like it, also.

MTH has not made any plastic boilers on its O gauge steamers. The Docksider is metal. All you have to do is check MTH’s product listings if you are ever in doubt about the composition of a locomotive.
