Shop Switcher 217

This is a brass model of a shop switcher that was used to move steam locomotives undergoing repair around the backshop area, and other roundhouse chores. The saddle tank confuiguration allows it to fit on the turntable with whatever locomotive it's pushing. It is a faithful model of the prototype, including the paint job. I still need to weather it though!
