Little bitty Switchers...0-6-0 B6 type

[Jim Duda]

Here's a size comparison of an 0-6-0 type and an RMT BEEP that's so popular now. If you want to see what stuff it comes with go to:

This actually looks "right" on my little table and it has programmable chuff rates (from the handheld) of 1 - 16 chuffs per rev in increments of 1. 3 sounds really funky!...the whistle is a high pitched single tone like you hear on the European trains - if you blow it for more than 3 seconds it goes into a really cool series of changing tones and duration.

You diesel guys may not care for it, but some of us really like those Side Rods...(wink)

JIMBO looks like a challenge to TOM for best smoker (cough cough).

Of course I have seen some good smokers from an 8mm(wink).

to each their own, and most of the folks here seem to love all that smoke, but it sure looks like a bunch to me. A post war smoke pellet in my 726 is just right for me. Nice white puffs.

JImbo, It looks great. I is going to be hard for me not to get one.

Tom,

It's a real beaut. I fell in love w/those switchers, featured in the real old thick bible called something like the Complete Model Railroad, may have been featured on John Allan's layout. If die-cast would be really sweet. I purchased a RK 2-8-0 with no valve gear action, which I now regret.

I am going to have to turn in the RR I wanted to model. They used 0-6-0 Switchers extensively, but all my research shows that they used them without tenders with saddle tanks over the boiler for water. That said, Jimbo, you have certainly piqued my interest. If I can live with high rails and big couplers, I suppose I can put up with an extraneous tender or two. Or maybe I can surgically insert the electronics into saddle tanks and do away with the tender.

What we really need is an 0-5-0 Addams switcher. [(-D]
