Happy Thanksgiving once again switcher Saturday aficionados! This weekend with turkey behind us ( and at our waistlines!) we enter the high season of the toy train year. Let's face it, most popularized toy trains have to do with running a train around a Christmas Tree. This has been a tradition for me since at least my first communion since we that is when I received my first train. My sons and daughter and my wife would all be ready to lock me in the looney bin if the tree went up in our house and the trains didn't start making laps within 24 hrs later. So if you are one of the many who partake in the train around the tree tradition, then some time in the next few weeks show us a pic of a switcher making laps on the carpet central. That is after all how most of us began.
Since it was Thanksgiving my brother and his family were in town, so at his suggestion, we all went down to the PA RR museum on Friday.
Here's a couple picks from Friday's excursion![20191129_101819[1]](https://ogrforum.com/fileSendAction/fcType/0/fcOid/115037109864903342/filePointer/115037109864903387/fodoid/115037109864903379/imageType/LARGE/inlineImage/true/20191129_101819%255B1%255D.jpg "20191129_101819[1]")
Everyone had fun sitting in the engineer's seat of the GP-30. The volunteer on the engine was patient and knowledgeable. He was even playing horn and bell sounds from his phone

Everybody make a goofy face!
As usual, there's a few simple rules for Switcher Saturday:
1.This threads welcome switchers of all sizes and sources, such as 12" to the foot, live steam, HONGZ and of course 3 rail O gauge. 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. If you missed last weekend's post - check it outhere.
3. Keep it friendly - we want this to be fun. (we haven't had any real problems with grumpy trolls, I'd like to keep it that way)
4. In regards to compliance with the letter and spirit of the OGR tos, this post is in the photo album section as the subject is switchers and small motive power. Three rail O is the common medium but anything from prototype through Hongz, grand scales, live steam etc is welcome, as long you took the photo yourself or have permission to post it. Feel free to post a link to something cool.
