Switcher Saturday: 2016-Feb-20 - 1 Year Anniversary

Coach Joe,

    I really like the Pictures of the #3 Red, White & Blue NASA Switcher, the only one I ever got to see & climb up on, back when were were working at the NASA Michoud Plant in East NO, was the #1 Red, Black & White NASA Switcher.  Way cool Switchers especially with that new Paint job!  I do not believe the #3 was ever offered in O Gauge P2 or P3.  I still have my complete NASA Train, that MTH made for us NASA/Martin Marietta Employees, and have added additional NASA Cars down thru the years.  Jim Sutters wife Peggy, had a Fantastic NASA Train to rival mine, when Jim and Peggy closed up shop, I would have purchased the entire Train, if I had known she was going to sell it.  

Great pictures buddy!

Coach Joe, there is a Helium Tank car at the Good Coast Railroad Museum in Miami Florida.

Gold Coast is also now the home of NASA Alco  S2 #1. A visit to the museum may be the easiest way of seeing one of the helium cars.

AHM made one in HO in Plastic Years ago.

Lionel made one in HO and one in O scale but they were more of a toylike silver painted wood dowels on a flatcar thing. 

In honor of Switcher Saturday's I year anniversary .... switcher hoggers posed for the photographer on the Free State Junction Railway .... in another single shot a WM hogger takes his hat off to Rich and Switcher Saturday!

Pictures of the helium cars all show wll worn cars so I can't tell if they are silver or gray or gray cars with silver cylinders.  Has anybody seen one and know the color(s)?
