I’m pleased to see Switcher Saturday continuing.
To my mind, the term “switchers” conjures up small steam engines with no leading or trailing trucks. New Haven Alco RS-1 #0668 (model by Atlas O) and New York Central EMD GP-9 #6001 (model by MTH) certainly do not qualify in that regard, although technically they are correctly referred to as “road-switchers.” Pictured on my 12’-by-8’ layout.
