Jerome's Switcher Roster

[wheeler1963]

Have I provided enough pictures to get you interested in the giant muffler switchers?

I can't say that one interests me too much. It's just too strange looking. I'd spend more time explaining it to people...........

Even still with the additional parts, I think my Athearn rubber band drive RDC can do 184 scale m.p.h.!

Well, I need a bigger house first. Then maybe I'll have some room to start building a layout again. Hopefully this summer if I get the job in Tennessee.

Larry, didn't lose a job. My company is bidding on a new contact at a base in Tennessee. If they get the contract, I get the lead position according to the president of the company.

Jerome,
You sound like me about not having room to build a layout until you move. I hope to move this year (but I've been saying that for a few years now). Just can't get a house my wife and I like. Guess we are to picky about what we want. It's a good thing I'm my own agent because any other agent would have dropped us as a client by now.

BTW: I looked at METCAPS and I really like the wreaked locos you did. Would love to see more photos if you have them sometime.

Drew, now that is an interesting one. I like the 6 axle look of it!!!!

 

[Irongrave]

CN had some really funky stuff, they also had the SW1200RS Sweeps, they had GP9 long hood with SW cabs

 

[diburning]

The high short hood looks funky.

Dave, I'll start a new thread with all of the wrecks I've done.

 

[wheeler1963]

In a never ending quest to move things from the "to do" pile to the "done" pile, I've almost finished up on these 4. I added most of the detail parts but ran out of fuel fillers and windshield wipers for them.

Here's another interesting switcher:
