It's #SwitcherSaturday time!!!!

Lots of us out there love switchers (shifters, docksiders, yard goats, critters, etc.), so lets keep #SwitcherSaturday (a.k.a. SWSAT) rolling!

If you missed last week's SWSAT you should really go take a look, it was a ton of fun!

This week I ran B&O #16 (little K-Line / Lionel 6-38620 circa ~2006) down at the Rappahannock Model Railroaders clubhouse.  One of the videos below show this thing moving right along at a speed I doubt any prototype porter ever hit!

Update on the layout: no news here, hopefully some more progress by next week?


I hope everyone has a nice weekend, and had a great Thanksgiving!

If you get a chance - please post some switcher stuff here!

All the best...Rich Murnane

p.s. Miss the post on Saturday? NO BIG DEAL, just keep posting pictures of your favorites until the next #SwitcherSaturday

Happy SwSat!

Great start as usual guys. Rich Im glad to see that you look like you are having fun at your new club.

This past weekend at my club the NYSME in Carlstat NJ I was holding down the Mainline Dispatch seat for a few hours at the Holiday open house. So I was running a bit faster than switching speed. A Susquehanna SW9 was pulling a speaker with music and gondolas with presents around the layout. They are open again this weekend. 

I am posting a few picks of the Lionel 0-4-0 from the MPC era that I picked up last year at the White Plains Toy and Train Show that is coming up again next weekend on Sunday. I also got to meet Tom P/ MNCW live in person at the show. It is not quite a 228 but if you squint maybe it could remind you of one.

I am experimenting with the lighting and I am still not satisfied. I need a better channel to hold it and I need to move it closer to the aisle.

Have a great weekend. I cant wait to see what you guys post.

It is Saturday morning, December 2, 1949, and the little 44 tonner is moving a R50 reefer to classification track 3 where the morning express train is being put together. The engineer has been operating "the Baby" for two months now and is happy with its dependability and ease of operation, but concerned about its performance moving heavy consists.  He does miss his B6sb.

BRIANSILVERMUSTANG,  Thank you for the lead. Weaver is what it is. Found one NIB and bought it.

Thanks,  Azgary

                              glad you were able to find one, it is a cool boxcar....

I agree this is a cool looking car!  Weaver made these parts boxcars with the names of several auto makers including Tucker and Packard.  I have the Tucker parts car.  Too bad Tucker didn't make autos long enough to be able to ship parts in boxcars.  At least in my imaginative world Tucker auto manufacturing is thriving!
