Switcher Saturday - Mark II, 9/7/19

Happy SWSAT!

JHZ563 – Thanks again for starting SWSAT - Mark II.

On the subject of GP38s, here are two MTH Premier models. Union Pacific #2048 is an older model with PS1. Providence & Worcester #2007 is a newer one with PS3.

Happy SWSat!

More GEEP's

The SW1500 has the distinct of being the first SW with a 645 engine.

Happy SWSAT! Enjoy your weekend 

In keeping with the GP38 theme, here is a K-Line GP38 that I repainted into Penn Central colors.

K-Line cataloged a PC GP38, but went belly-up before they were made.  I always liked the K-line GP38's because of the small fuel tank.  They have TMCC and Railsounds, too.  Added a Cruise-M and upgraded the sound file.  One of my favorite locos.

An older photo but one that I like a lot--hope you do too.

The mighty SIRT 8800 gilds the rails, once again!

One more:

Lionel PWC PW 613 remake. It's a bit odd because it has an ECRU, electronic horn&bell and an F3/GP7 motor and [front] power truck. Also 3 roller pickups, a double on the rear truck and a single a la late LTI GP/F practice. 

Thanks for checking in folks.  Once again I think we need some steam so here’s a few things from my phone.  This is me, about a lifetime ago, hanging out the fireman’s side of Laurel Highlands RR #7, a 1934 H. K. Porter that started life as a saddle tanker.  It is now on static display somewhere in Georgia.

And a recent offering LionChief Christmas Special.

Since every else fixed onto Geeps as a theme, here’s another.  This is a Williams model that can pull out tree stumps!  The gearing however is the usual Williams setup, so 6 volts is about warp 4.5 unless you load it down with cars.

And lastly, I finally found a picture I had of RSME #10 outside and with the hood on

I hope you have enjoyed this edition of Switcher Saturday- Mark II.  Please feel free to add to this thread throughout the week.

You kidding me?  My little two could each have their own town and still fight 8 times a day!
