Good Morning Switcher Fans,
Welcome to Switcher Saturday, Mark II! If you have an appreciation for little locomotives that do big things, or slightly bigger locomotives used in sometimes less glorious roles, you found the right thread. Here we show some love for all things switcher loco related, from saddle tankers, to vulcans, to transfer diesels, road switchers, big loco's pressed in switching service, and yes even the BL-2.
First a quick review of the guidelines for this thread is a bit overdue.
1. Everyone be nice. This is not usually a problem here and I don't want it to become one. The strangest thing is that the BL-2 is a locomotives who's appearance invokes more reactions than most. Keep it all positive, there is enough bad things to think about in the world.
2. Switcher Saturday is open to all scales, gauges, sizes etc. Got a G-scale gp-7? no problem! Wanna show off an On3 little critter or an N scale Porter? Go for it. Obviously on the OGR forum the usual focus is O gauge/scale.
3. We love pictures and videos. But if you are gonna post here it needs to be yours or something you have the owner's permission to post here. While us end users see the forum as part of our hobby it is part of a business. Taking an image from someone else's business and posting here without there permission is against the rules of the OGR forum. However, if it's cool and you just can't reach the owner, post a link, and most of us will be sure to check it out.
4. Back stories and narratives have greatly expanded here lately, and I feel it really adds to the fun. To those who feels so inclined, keep up the great work.
Without further ado, Here's my contribution to kick us off. An mth 0-6-0 that the originator of this thread @Murnane, is somewhat familiar with. I work at a power plant. And today a transformer is being delivered on the FCC. (Filing Cabinet Central.)
So please share a photo, video, story, memory etc., and keep those rails shiny!
To my knowledge this is the first time this road name has been offered by MTH. In the MTH 2020 vol. 2 cat., they are offering a RS-1 in the Washington Terminal Company livery. It's RailKing scale. I am pre - ordering this locomotive. The Washington Terminal Co. was jointly owned by the B&O and Pennsylvania Railroads and it was WTC switchers that did all the switching at Washington, DC's Union Station. MTH is offering RS-1 number 46, a switcher that I saw many time in real life as I drove in and out of DC to various gigs in the late 70's/80s. Many times I would see this locomotive at the Ivy City Locomotive Service facility located alongside New York Ave. Other times I would see it pulling or pushing a string of AMTRACK passenger coaches into or out of Union Station or the the coach yard. Since the B&O and Pennsy once owned the WTC, the WTC will fit nicely into the theme of the Free State Junction Railway which is all of Maryland's Class One and Short Line railroads of post WW2 1946- 1960. And since 
HEE! HEE!
