Neat Switcher Shot

"A picture is worth a thousand words."  Photoshop a background with this and you won't need to write a story!  Awesome shot!

Good Suggestion!

You call that a shot? Color is way off, you need a gobo light on the coupler of detail, and one thing else. Love it!!!!!!!

O man, you could have posted this beauty in Switcher Saturday!

Nice shot, I have the B&O version and I loved it, stupid son in law ran it off the layout. He is no longer allowed in my train room under penalty of death.

Tell us more, John.  This sounds interesting.

I order a new cab section for it from Lionel on the 50% off sale. It arrived Thursday. I was very happy till I open it and it was not blue with yellow numbers but GREEN with some kind of Safety crap lettering on it. @$#@$% this poor engine is jinxed or possessed,  maybe I should take it to the church and have them do a exorcism on the poor little guy. 

Nice shot Ed.

Really appreciate all the likes for the shot. Now, I really am going to have to finish the article about the switcher!

THAT's what I'm talkin' about!

I love the photo for a different reason. From this photo I see, with only a slight change in graphics, that this engine could easily be made into Strasburg switcher 8618. Only Atlas has made one and it easily sold out. I'm game for another and I bet the demand is still there. Do it Lionel! BigRail

I took this shot for a story in OGR and it came out so well I thought I would share it with you.

Now all I have to do is write the story

Gorgeous.

That switcher would look great in an article about The Put.

Rich,

WOW! talk about dramatic!  The background you chose for the switcher shot is just, plain great

Nobody can say it looks bland, that's for sure!
