Switcher Saturday: 2015-Mar-28

MTH's Chicago Great Western NW2

 

 

NYC 8504 giving one of "Uncle Dupie's" tin cans a shove this morning...

 

This is a real switcher.

MTH P&LE SW switcher

 

Lionel Northern Pacific SW switcher

 

 

A favorite photo of a favorite locomotive. Cruising with my son yesterday near the Pacific Ocean and drove by an old water tank much like my model, but shorter. It was tilted at about 20 degrees--very picturesque. This was dairy country north of San Francisco just outside village of Valley Ford. A narrow gauge served this area before 1930 but doubt water tank railroad issue.

 

 

My Williams switcher upgraded to Tmcc, RS 

Can't run those switchers enough!! Action at CP Mar recently.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1615 shoving the 4-8-4 project into the engine house.

 

 

 

Great pictures all!

 

Until next time...Rich

Boiler Up!

Jersey Central 0-6-0 No. 113 headed three Easter Bunny Specials today between Minersville and Cressona, PA. Volunteers worked for 35 years to restore her.

 

 

During Santa Claus Specials on November 30, 2013, I happened to stand at the right spot to see a reflection of the Minersville station (opened 1913) on No. 113's tender.

 

       
       


P&LE rules!!! You just need the GP7' s and you would have the complete 1980s roster !

A couple of shots of "Junior", a former Lionel 51 Navy Base switcher now in Giraffe Express service...

Where did those disney figures come from? They seem to scale better than most I've seen. All, nice switcher pics!

I picked up a packet of Disney Monorail characters while I was there a couple months ago, quick google search found these:  http://dizdude.com/m/disney-wo...ers-dizdude-com.html

Too bad I didn't see both packs!

This is video I made a few years back......I don't think I posted it on prior weeks(sorry if i did). Love the NYO&W RR!
