Reply to "Switcher Saturday Mark II, 11-21-20"

Well jhz563 I see you have your Lionel #41 US Army Switcher working this morning.  So it happens that the Army is also working the docks at Savannah on the Leonardtown and Savannah today.  Moving an "up-east" NH automobile car containing some new Jeeps for Hunter AAB in Savannah.  Today its 1950's vintage trains from Lionel.

Here is "old" #41 made 1955-57 and has had a  career working hard for the Army as you can see.  She is a long way from "new" or perfect but she is perfect for negotiating the tight turns at the port and at the Army Air Base.

Here she is loaded up with that NH Auto-Box car.  Its a 6468-25 also made by Lionel between 1956-58.  With only one car, she will use the L&S commuter line (its mid afternoon between heavy commuter runs to the north away from the port ) to move this car to Hunter.  Easy load and the Army needs these Jeeps.

OBTW today is dark and rainy in Texas and the lighting in the layout room under these conditions makes picture taking hard.  So today's scene's are taking place on a true "table top" layout where I can get better lighting.

Have a great weekend everyone

Don
