How about an NW2, made from a re-motored and re-geared Athearn SW1500, which was apparently more like an SW7?
The diesel was supposedly the replacement for her predecessor...
...so either could be considered a transition-era locomotive. In truth, the re-motored Athearn is long gone, although the articulated may be gone soon, too...perhaps to a display shelf.

More transition era stuff, please, but not necessarily locomotives.
Lone Wolf and Santa FePlease show me the most senior locomotive on your roster.
This LMB Mikado was made in 1962. With a new can motor and DCC decoder it runs beautifully!

I was never able to get Photobucket to work for me. Then someone suggested TrainBoard.com IMHO, TrainBoard is faster and easier.
Just my
And now....back to the show!
Guy ... Your request was not the problem. The real problem is not enough participants. People should feel free to show their stuff here in this fun thread. (Edit: another problem may be Photobucket not functioning well as is the case now.)
Below is an SD7 (CB&Q) and a RS3 (NP) from the transition era

Guy I didn't think there was anything wrong with your request for more switchers. I just didn't want to "hog" the thread.

Great looking diesels everyone! I especially enjoy weathered, rusty looking ones.
Mr. Pullman, great looking roundhouse scene. I like the overhead gantry. Need to add that to my roundhouse.
Here's the only diesel locomotive to be found on my steam-dominated railroad:
An Alco S-1 switcher, sent over by the Main Office to the Dutchtown & Geismar Division for evaluation. I overheard a few of the older Hoggers say that they don't like "dem new-fangeled diesels".
"Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep 'em rolling...."
Lets's see more switchers, diesel or steam.

I love these old GP's.
Lets some more!

Great Northern is another railroad which operated its first generation road switchers long end forward. Here are some GP7's.
Plase show more first generation road switchers. ( For example EMD GP7's and GP9's or Alco RS3's.)
By coincidence this Trainline GP-15-1 from Walthers arrived yesterday. It is DCC W/S.
It has only had a test run and I have no compliants as of now. Very pleased.
Please show more geeps.
