On the Montour trail just past the Greer Tunnel, an Ohio Central switcher.
Better late than never I suppose!

Okay Rich, I'm ready for you this time. I just picked up my PS3 Alaska RR USRA 0-6-0 today.

Finally figured out how to add TMCC engines to DCS, so I was able to run a donated K-Line A5s on the club layout to replace our (increasing problematic) Montour SW9.

WOW, what a week! It started off as a pretty slow morning for SwitcherSaturday, then I go off to the Navy football game and wham-o, you guys post a ton of great pictures, videos, and comments!
Tom (MNCW): Did you post a picture of non-Steam? huh??? :-)
rockstars1989: Great picture! I hope the team enjoyed their beer post-shift!
DaveP: No worries on being late with the homework this time, but next time you might get detention! :-)
MOPAC: This might be the first flyer to join SwitcherSaturday, that switcher looks awesome!
CBS072: Great pictures, I always like pictures taken from that angle!
SilverLake: The Amtrak 80 tonners look like beasts! We're all looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your next layout!
Also, thanks for pointing out the Western Maryland thing, I'm still a bit of a newbie (aka knucklehead aka moron) that I really did think Chessie = "Chesapeake & Ohio". However I now know (according to the all knowing WikiPedia) that:
Chessie = "Chesapeake & Ohio" + "Baltimore & Ohio" + "Western Maryland" + several smaller carriers
And the fact that my caboose is marked with WM I now know it would have been one of the Western Maryland cabooses of Chessie. So, had you not nitpicked I likely wouldn't have learned all this for a long time, so thanks!
Also, the French car is pretty cool, apparently there is one in the B&O museum in Baltimore, so next I go I'll take some pics and post.
mike.caruso: Hey Mike, someone needs to crack the whip on those construction zone guys!
bob2: That Flyer really is nice, agreed agreed agreed...
taycotrains: That seems like a very good buy at $50, it's going to look nice on those fancy shelves I see in the background of that picture! Your layout looks impressive from this angle, I'm going to have to search around to see any other pictures you might have posted over the years of it.
Bill T: that's a sharp looking vulcan you have there! Great picture!
Steamer: These pictures you post each week are incredible, it's almost like you're sharing our heritage with us each week, very very cool!
Mike CT: I need to go do some trainspotting one of these weekends, mine is going to be called SwitcherSpotting though!
joeyA: Late homework is better than no homework for sure! :-)
Mark Boyce: WOW, that #315 looks great!!! Congrats on the new arrival! B/T/W, I love that little green Frankenstein guy you have in your layout! I like the whole layout, but that little green guy gives is an extra touch!
trumptrain: "Maryland in the House"!!! That Canton switcher paint scheme is awesome! Great picture!
pittsburghrailfan: It looks like you guys have fun at that club! I have one of those K-Line A5's and I like it very much, except for some reason the tender pops off once in a while around my switches, something I need to look at.
Again what a great week! I bet we hear back from "Laming" at some point, showing off those fancy little switchers he picked up and posted about in last week's SWSat.
If anyone else out there wants to join in the fun, feel free to keep posting on this thread until next Saturday! I usually have this thing rolling by 8 or 9 am eastern time each week, and if I don't wake up or post by 9am for some reason one of the other "regulars" can pick up the torch and start the thread.
All the best and enjoy the rest of your weekend...Rich Murnane

^^^^^ Love it! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Canton Railroad hosted the n-scale club, BANTRAK, which I belonged to. These were taken around 2004 I think.
"It started off as a pretty slow morning for SwitcherSaturday"
well I was on daylight....
Rich,
Thank you. I really like it.
Frankenstine is left over from a bunch of characters my wife and daughter put on the layout from time to time when I wasn't there. They got all of them from the thrift store. They move around and I never know who or where one will turn up. Lots of fun for all.

That looks like a lot of fun. The Canton Paint Scheme is really one of the best out there.
The Maryland flag I always found attractive (maybe because my family has lived there
since the 1600's) and the way it is applied to the engines and caboose is really playful
while being respectful to it.
There was a time once I was driving though the tunnel there in Baltimore and was
surprised by how close the Canton tracks were. It looked like the engine was in the
next lane!
very cool thanks for posting
