Guess I am on the same wavelength as Lee. While he was posting his above video. I was making mine, of the same switcher.

Do you think I have an obsession?

That's a 4 switcher lash up hauling coal.

I cannot resist buying one of these at a train show if it's offered for a good price. IMO, the Postwar Lionel ATSF NW2, especially the bell-ringer model, is the very best Postwar switcher. Arnold

Arnold, every time I see a bell ringer at a train show, I wonder, "Can I live with all the ringing in my ears?" So far I have declined, but I may still end up with one in the future - I love the engine, in fact I love my 623 non-bell-ringer. I guess I could get one and just disable the bell - did you? 

I also bought this 6220 shell for $1 at a train show. It was warped, stripped of all it's goodies, had no chassis, wheels or motor, but I just loved the look, so now it's my computer desk "ornament"
