Switcher Saturday: 2017-Dec-23

Adding a video...Rich

To all who contribute to this post thoughout the year, may one of these little switchers find its way to your home on Christmas Eve with a load of Peace and Joy for you and your families!  

That's awesome @mike.caruso !

I'll be offline most of the day today,  off to see some family and Christmas festivities.

Ho Ho Ho...

A 'red'dy for the holidays....

Merry Christmas everyone & Happy Switcher Saturday!

Yay! SWSat is in the “On” position!

This week I’m just posting a few simple pics of my ETS Czechoslovakian 0-4-0T  with a short train stopped at Bing guard house and Water tower on the under tree loop line.

Here is my other power a Prewar German Karl Bub 0-4-0. I really like its color scheme of gold and red pinstripes on a green body. The wind splitter cab seems a little optimistic for a Switcher but this old guy is a speed demon. The plunger directly behind the stack is the reverser  when you pull it up. It is a lot of fun to run. 

 Happy Holidays to my SWSat friends and safe travels.

Merry Christmas guys! Hope we all find plenty of Orange and Blue boxes under our trees.

Merry Christmas to everyone at SWSAT.

Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings to all! Hope Santa puts some RR equipment under your tree this year!

The Christmas Story Express is heading out with Ralphie at the throttle to deliver Red Ryder Air Rifles to good boys and girls everywhere!

They are all great, folks!  I rolled the North Pole Central Number 12 out for service this week.

Numbers 32 and 35 are two newbes for me.  I kind of got a package deal for them,

And Number 35 up on the photo module that got stalled this fall.

                            a "SwitcherSaturday" tree...

The "SwitcherSaturday" tree is one of the Sugarcreek Model Railroad club's many layouts.   We call it "The Mountain".   The picture was taken in the old Post Office building in downtown Rogers, Arkansas and is part of the Rogers Museum. Which is 2 blocks south of the Daisy BB gun museum, and about 3/4 mile from the Daisy BB Gun office/plant.  The Mountain will be set up at the Club's 2018 show on March 17th at the Embassy Suites in Rogers.

As the club members get older will have down sized from two trailers with layouts to one trailer and sold the large "N" scale and now have a 20" by 40" N scale layout.  Our largest layouts now are a 4ft by 8ft "O" gauge  and 4.5ft by 8ft "HO" scale layout and a "G" gauge that fits in a plastic box track and all.

   thanks for the information on the "The Mountain",  Keith            it is pretty cool !

Great photos and videos everyone!!  Here is a repeat from last year's SWSAT Christmas time post.  Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Chanukah!!! 

After seeing MELGAR's 44-ton diesels, I remembered I had see one at the Savannah Roundhouse
Museum in 2011. Here is the Claremont Concord RR #119.

It was originally a Boston & Maine. Here is MTH's version (20-20716-1).
