Jerome's Switcher Roster

[CaptSuperCow]

What models are the first five in the first bottom left picture? I'm really starting to like switchers and that's the type of model that catches my eye the most.

Thanks

I am not sure about the first one but the next 2 are Bachmann GE 70 Ton switchers and the next 2 are Bachmann GE 44 ton switchers. Bachmann also makes a very nice 45 ton switcher too. Check the links below the picture.

First one is an AHM 35 tonner (way out of scale) then to Bachmann 70 tonners, and 2 Bachmann 44 tonners.

Holy Cr@P thats a collection. Puts a tear to my eye seeing other switcher enthusiasts Bottom picture, third pair from the right, I think I have you beat though with a set of 7!

 

[wheeler1963]

Can't tell exactly which ones you mean. Also those pictures were from 3 years ago. No telling how many I have now

Maybe we can talk Pixar into doing a "Switcher" movie, you know, along the lines of "Cars".

You prob have double that by now! You even have me beat with your loco collection.

 

[wheeler1963]

Mark, no idea how many i have. I'll count once I get re-settled.

 

[fire28]

Hopefully you get resettled soon!

Yeah, and call it Trainz?

 

[Rico]

How about along the lines of "The Brave Little Toaster" but call it "The Brave Little Switcher"?

 

[tootnkumin]

Yeah, and call it Trainz?

Too many copyright issues from 'down under' and anything other title has probably been done by "Thomas"

They are obviously very confident it will go a lot higher. You could always do what lots of others seem to be doing here lately. Rob an ATM.

Now that is weird! The modern lighting makes it even weirder (note the ditch lights and twin pyle headlight). What is the story behind it? Has tooter gotten into 12" to the foot scale modelling?

 

[tootnkumin]

I see where you got that pic from Karl. It comes up on Google images for the RS3. Looking at the other images it's pretty clear that it is in fact the short hood end and cab that's had a motor installed into the short hood and the rest cut off. Very cute.

Oh, it is photoshoped. Nice work though, it fooled me.

I'll be darned, don't let that stop you doing one though, mate.
