Mark, what is that little PW switcher? I'm going to try to find one, or possibly an MPC version. I see that "leapinlarry" has posted a photo of a PW Celebration Series version in Atomic Energy Commission livery, too.

Lots of them out there Bill. They are neat little engines. The PW versions are very loud from what I've seen and read.

I see the prior comments about how loud this switcher is. Does it, perchance, use the same motor as found in the "whistling" tenders? The motor in the 243W tender I got with my Adriatic is quite loud and "rattly" and overwhelms the whistle at lower track voltages.
