Switcher Saturday: 2017-Aug-05

Happy Switcher Saturday everyone! Rich, no rush to take new pictures. Hope everyone is adjusting  to the move. 

My contribution this week is a rather clean looking, bell clanging, Pennsylvania Railroad B6sb #1446. Sorry, no patriotic colors, but just classy basic black. Seen in the "socially acceptable" rods down view, she is doing some passenger switching and running backwards. 

She was built at Juniata in 1916 and eventually scrapped in January 1950.

ah the joys of moving....find anything you'd forgotten about Rich?

Happy SWSat!

Got a little time to run trains this week.  Fired up the smoke unit on PRR #99. Pretty cool little switcher. A couple of S-2's and a MP-15 chillin' in the new yard too.

Hang in there Rich, only 142 days till Christmas. Plenty of time to get some trains running. 

Nice shots Brian and Tom. Don't worry Rich, any post is a good post. You will have new stuff to post before you know it.

that's a cool little engine, #99......nice photo's.

NH 0-8-0 switcher working Back Bay which also serves the B&A. 

Yay! SWSat is on!  

We are off to a great start today.

Dave C. I love the look of your layout. That New Haven engine is very nice.

This week was very busy with travel and a new job. I have not made much progress on my current projects so I pulled out some new ones. Here is my Lionel not quite B6 that is newly removed from its dusty box. I got it in Feb at the meet when I met Tom P in person. I don't think it has ever really been used and needs some work cleaning it out before I try to run it. 

The tree superstructures I made while watching TV. I found I can get so much more done while the kids are visiting thier grandparents. I realized I have so many buildings and no trees so here is the arbor committees start. I still have to clip the loops. They need somepaint and leaves.  

Have a great weekend. 

Silver do what I did...make your own B6.....

i know, not really a switcher, but pretty cool, red, white and blue though.......

Excellent shots.  I have two MTH bicentennial diesels, which I thought I would never collect, but couldn't resist the creativity of the paint schemes.  I have to say the paint schemes during that celebration period in 1976 were outstanding! In the shots above I have never seen these. Thanks for sharing!

Some 0-6-0 and 0-4-0 action around the coal mine on the OGR Reading Central project railroad:

Not sure if I posted this already or not.  Here is an Alco S-6 from the national train museum in Green Bay Wisconsin.

Here's my photo of the same engine from Aug. 2011.

Here is mine for this Saturday.  HAPPY SWSAT!!!

Nice stuff posted this week...as always!  Here's an ALCo Road Switcher 3 fresh out of the paint shop in the Jersey Central's late-1960's, B&O-inspired blue & yellow paint scheme.  It's time to put this engine to work and get 'er dirty!!  The model is an Atlas O Trainman RS3...and yes, it will be weathered and 3-rail scaled at some point!
