An older photo of my MTH switcher.  I model the Northwestern Pacific in Northern California and what I was trying to capture was the broad gauge Guerneville Branch along the lower Russian River just before the tracks were removed in 1935.

Road Switcher  Atlas RS1 Morristown and Erie.

Recent repair job. Atlas SW 9

 Re-assembly is complete, some air brush work and maybe grimy black overspray should mask 95% of the damage. A hard fall to a concrete floor. Atlas supplied new window glazing, which worked well as a support for all the pieces on re-assembly.  I didn't want to do a complete repaint. I could have replaced the cab. I saved all the graphic detail, which would have been a major part of the repair project.  Originally purchased as a parts engine.  IMO, nice cold day project.  Thanks Eliot.   Mike CT.
