@Dallas Joseph - That is really a beautiful switcher, detail is really well done, who did that?

Don

Thank you Don.

The Switcher is an RK ( MTH Railking ).   

  If I can remember  , I did do the safety striping panels with Microscale decals , I removed the paint from the brass bell , I think I added some yellow Tamiya to some of the railing and I had painted the decking with a mixture of dark  green and a very light amount of gold ( or siver ) Tamiya paint to imitate a light metal look.   

I had also doctored up the trucks with a flat gray mixture and some other little dabs of paint here and there.   The rear plow was a spare that came with another  MTH diesel .

MTH did a nice job on their RK switchers to begin with Don.

@Dallas Joseph- Thanks for the response Dallas.  You (and MTH) did a great job, it is a handsome switcher indeed!

Thanks Don. I do try and rotate them on and off the layout when I can. Time to do a swap soon as is.

Hope the heat breaks soon for you guys. We've had a cooler than normal summer in the northeast. Only in the low 80's today.
