Yay! SWSat is on!
Hope everyone in the northeast is enjoying the nice weather this weekend. I hope to go to the Rons Books train show up in Old Greenwich CT this Sunday. It is one of my favorite shows because it has scenery clinics and is reachable by train.
I am posting some pics I took of Alcos in North Creek NY I took about a month ago. The green S2 was the former Alco plant Switcher. Now it is back in its factory scheme. The engine house,turn table fuel and sand houses are nicely compact and model able.
So appologies for such an image heavy post but it is an interesting site. Two operating Alco switchers at one site these days is also worthy of SWSat.
On another note for a few here that may be interested I finally have a two rail engine to run on the two rail NYSME layout. It is an MTH SD70 in Providence Worcester paint. It is a bit more modern than I usually do but I really am a big PW fan. I am waiting for the scale wheels to convert it. Once I get it going I'll probably stretch the definition of Switcher to include road switching to get a few pics of it running in. This serves as my legal forewarning. Haha.
Have a great weekend guys.
