It's Switcher Saturday Time!!!!
Lots of us out there love switchers (shifters, docksiders, yard goats, critters, etc.), so lets keep #SwitcherSaturday (a.k.a. SWSAT) rolling!
If you missed last week's SWSAT, you should go take a look, there was some great stuff posted!

This week we have NYC #9000 pulling a set of boxcars and a caboose around "Mr. Mike's Basement Layout" (a local friend of mine from my club). You get a glimpse of Mike at around the one minute mark of the video, and that's his RF&P RailKing Berkshire in the video too.

This engine started off life as an MTH "demo" or "pre-production" model. I picked it up at a good price thinking it was a conventional only engine - because that is what was written on a sticker on the engine. It ran fine on my small home layout for a time, then when I tried running it on a layout with DCS it died. I had it looked at and the tech said "sorry, burnt out electronics", so after a while I finally sent it off to forum member GGG for a board replacement and tune up. Since then, it's been a great, I'm glad I got it repaired and the PS3 stuff is fun.
Enjoy your weekend and when you get a chance - please post some switcher stuff here!
You know the rules:
1. if it's related to switchers (model switchers, prototypes, critters, switching yards, switching layouts) - we want to see it! Videos, Pics, Stories (true or fictional), poems, whatever!
2. if you miss the post on Saturday? NO BIG DEAL, just keep posting pictures of your favorites until the next #SwitcherSaturday
3. keep it friendly - we want this to be fun. (we haven't had any problems with grumpy trolls, I'd like to keep it that way)
All the best...Rich Murnane
p.s. "Spring" Lacrosse starts today for my daughter - so I'll be offline most of the day and will circle back tomorrow if I don't get a chance to check in later!
