Howard...
This would make a very nice Holiday card.
Yes another SWSAT is in the Books. I also want to thank everyone for the well wishes for our Wedding Anniversary and likes and complements. I know you guys probably get tired of seeing just old ”buzz” go around the loop but I think I’m going to give him a little make over this week I don’t know yet.
Howard. You are so welcome keep posting we would love to see more
Thanks John for keeping this going. See ya next SWSAT
Lee, I never get tired of Buzz. What is his history?

Lee,
Congratulations on the anniversary. That is the most important thing...
As for seeing "old buzz" every week, most of us have only one model railroad on which to take pictures for SWSAT-II. Therefore, it is to be expected that we will see and post similar scenes and locomotives every week. In my opinion, that does not detract from anyone's contribution. Every one of my switcher locomotives has been posted more than once, and probably multiple times. The same for pictures on my trestle. At this point, I have nothing really new to post. The challenge is to invent new camera angles and views of the layout. And maybe to acquire more locomotives... Keep posting. I look at your scenes every week.

Lew. Buzz is a post war Switcher made around 1952 it was a Santa Fe but the decals and paint was bad so I re painted it and decaled it with some decals a friend gave me. I was so proud I finally got to save up enough money to get one of these priceless pre war gems in this shape and I finally get to participate on SWSAT and be with you guys. Bob or Rich one time said they love that “Buzz” sound my switcher makes so I started calling the old Switcher Buzz and it stuck. I’ve had him for over a year and look forward every week to hook him up to some cars and have fun.
Mel. Thanks I’m sure you are echoing the others thoughts. Now I understand it doesn’t matter how my times we post the same subject it’s the way we do it. I plan on posting here for long while. Now with the new 4x8 section about ready I’ll have more opportunities for new camera shots. I can never get tired of anyone’s pics here no matter how many times they post it. Thanks again
