Reply to "It's SWITCHER SATURDAY 3/8/25 Edition!!!"

Hello SwSat people! I had some new photos/videos prepared for today, but - after seeing those classic Lionel NW2 switchers - I had to go back to the archives to show my Chesapeake and Ohio model no. 624.

I probably received this shifter for Christmas in 1954. Like Patrick said it’s a great runner, so I’ve piled a lot of miles on it in seventy years. The motor has required a couple of rebuilds in that time, but, hey, I have too!

No. 624 is seen passing a trio of Baltimore and Ohio Budd cars. The RDC1 is a postwar Lionel model from 1957 and the RDC4s are modern Lionel reproductions.
