Switcher Saturday: 2015-Jun-13

Plymouth Switcher takes a ride on the transfer table after pulling a box car off the RIP track!

 

 

I have been going through my "projects" box and I found this beater 520. Of all the window struts I think it has only one left, natch there is no pantagragh and it sports some nice wobbly permanant marker customization. I do like all the portholes when it is coupled to this Williams PC caboose. 

 

Maybe this repaint will happen later today.

A couple MTH switchers working the spurs.

This is going to be my yard switcher when I am running CN stuff...............Paul

A follow up post on the earlier 520.

 

This Switcher Saturday inspired me to get a bit of work on the 520 in today. Getting better me thinks.still plenty to be done but looking a bit more like an IR boxcab. Now I want to do some work on the roof and both center and light the head light.

Thanks yes the 44 tonner is so fun.

It finally arrived - my Atlas O PRR B28   I ran it on the test track and it ran well, sounded great, and everything worked   I like the 4-chuffs/rev; sounds like a machine gun due to the small drivers.  It is a neat looking little engine.  Here it is working the yard.

 

 

great pics guys

 

and I know where there is (or was) one of those Plymouth's sitting in the weeds.....

 

 

Paul Just what I'm looking for to haul all my CN boxcars, who  made your CN RS3 ? James

As always, nice photos. Here's a dockside from the daaak side!

These were taken while driving on PA-43. I'm not exactly sure where this is, but it looks like a barge transloading facility that has an Alco S unit and? an EMD SW9 (inside the shed).

Cnj and N&W switcher.

 

Here's a couple of pics from my old layout, it was small enough that switchers looked better than most other full sized locomotives.....

 

 

 

 

I kinda like this switcher Saturday thing....

 

Paul

I totally agree with Paul..."Serows1"...

 

I really like this "Switcher Saturday" as well...

 

hopefully I'll be able to participate in a small way...and not watch watch from trackside...

I love that someone at Lionel bothered making the crew of this tank engine look like green goblins. When I first opened mine I remember laughing out loud. It is the little touches like that that make things really special.

AlCo action...

 

 

Great pics as always......
