It's #SwitcherSaturday Time!!!!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

My picture this week is of my Atlas-O B&O SW900, getting ready to move things around in the yard!
I love this little guy, it comes with TMCC and is one of only a couple of command control engines I have.

Another note: There is one on daBay right now which has yellow handrails which look much more "stout" then the flimsy blue ones I have.  I wonder if this engine originally came with these and the blue ones, and the previous owner of mine lost them before selling to me?  The one on daBay is NOT mine, I am not suggesting anyone purchase it and I'm not advertising it, just noting it looks different than mine.

Anyway, it's a great little engine, lots of fun.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, have some switcher fun and when you get a chance - please post some switcher stuff here!


All the best...Rich Murnane

p.s. Miss the post on Saturday? NO BIG DEAL, just keep posting pictures of your favorites until the next #SwitcherSaturday

If you missed last week's SWSAT you should really go take a look, we had a ton of posts and it was a great fun!

Rich, Thank you again for starting us off!  As to the B&O SW900, yours looks great!  The one on eboay looks really nice too.  In fact, if I wasn't short on money right now, I would seriously consider buying it!  I know advertising wasn't your goal.  I certainly don't know what handrails are original, or could there have been variations.  If it was Lionel, I'll bet someone here would know. 

Here is a K-Line MP-16 I kind of got stuck with due to a misunderstanding.    I didn't get it from a Forum member, so rest assured no one here is at fault.  I'm not a fan of Conrail, and someone did a tacky job changing the engine number and adding white on the running boards.  Well, I decided it will be a donor for a repaint in either B&O or Western Maryland!  Does anyone know if there are appropriate decals available for one of those two roads?
