Reply to "IT's SWITCHER SATURDAY April 20, 2024 Edition"

Here are some videos I took in the Orange Hall yesterday.  Although not a switcher the first video is a short of the new Atlas O  2-8-0 Consolidation that's now in the new Atlas O catalogue.   It's a fine looker IMHO!!  I'm sure at some point there were many 2-8-0 locomotives who served as switchers in yards, and on local freight jobs.  



@trumpettrain Patrick,

Thanks for the mention (and Bob too @pennsyfan ).  Many 2-8-0 steamers became road switchers or even just switchers late in their careers.  So it being here is just fine.

The Atlas 2-8-0 looks great and thanks for the video.  My main concern is it has 3 chuffs/rev.  I know this is not a big deal for most, but kind of odd.  Hopefully their production engine has four.
