Another switcher, please.
MP15AC 23 is a recent acquisition for the B&CCS, and is still in its Union Railroad paint. However, that hasn’t stopped it from heading out on an evening switching run through Beacon, where a railfan’s camera caught it crawling behind some buildings and heading out after completing its job.
Keep the switchers coming!

mbinsewiGeorge, in garden tractor talk, without any running boards, or foot boards, your little loco would be called a "foot dragger
This small locomotive would have only room for 1 operator; he would have to get out to do his own switching unless there was a caboose where a switchman could ride. A 44 tonner would look huge next to it

Here's a kitbash to match a prototype kitbash: IAIS 6988, a China Railways QJ that was imported to the US and Americanized
Show me another kitbash or scratchbuild
I would guess this would qualify as a kitbashed model, it was a kitbash in a box from Eastern Car Works, the GATC 3500CF Dryflow Covered Hopper.
Kit pieces as I opened the box, you essentially received two Airslide Kits with a new roof and floor, while you diced and sliced the sides to fit.

I'm hoping Ed means kitbashed?
If not, I'm sneakin in one more:
An SD40T-2, spartan cab cut off, and a wide cab added.
Just one more? OK?
A Con Cor sleeper, with a streamliner roof and side panels from an Athearn coach, to give me a sleeper car for my up-coming passenger train.
OK, that's all

For a contrast, this is an HOn30 diesel that I kitbashed for Boothbay Railway Village. The shell started as an HO Athearn Hustler with a Bachmann 44 Tonner mechanism. I shortened it and cut it more narrow. Critters are fun!

A mild bash based on some of them shown here, New York Central #4034 was converted from a Proto 2000 Burlington E7. I removed the second headlight, stripped and painted it for the NYC 'cigar band' livery. It has a Soundtraxx decoder and speaker installed for motor control and sound.
More bashed models please.

I actually do have two steam locomotives. This one, a Mahano, still DC, runs like champ, nice and quiet. It will run all night during our family Christmas Eve thing.
I don't know what class it would be as far mallot, or Berkshire or whatever, as I'm such a steam buff.
I actually have another, a Bachmann Spectrum, 2-8-0, DCC and sound, 2005 version, I just don't have any pictures of it.
More steam!

Thanks for your kind comments, Rob.
A friend was looking for an RS-1, and I knew of a used one, for sale, in a nearby hobbyshop. I bought it for $50.00, then added a few details that I had on-hand (I used to model diesels myself, but backdated my layout's era to the late '30s, so still had some diesel stuff kickin' around). I also had some CNR diesel decals and paint, and I did the paint scheme pretty-well as what CNR used, although they never owned RS-1s. Fortunately, he wanted it lettered for his freelance road, so I did that with alphabet decals which I already had, too.I also replaced all of the moulded-on grabirons with homemade wire ones, and replaced all of the handrails with ones formed from piano wire, drilling-out the Delrin stanchions, then threading them onto the wire. I took that photo, and several others, on my layout, before sending the locomotive to him, in return for fifty bucks.
He then had someone else put a decoder in it (my layout is DC), but a couple years later decided to leave the hobby, and offered me a number of items, (for a price, of course) including the locomotive. While the RS-1 is among my favourite ALCos, I didn't really need it, and another friend, who had seen the diesel before I had sent it, expressed interest in it. He did end-up buying it (obviously for more than $50.00), but I took the decoder out of it for him (also a DC operator), and he was able to sell it, bringing the price back to the original fifty bucks. It has returned to my layout once or twice, too, but just for a visit.
Here are a couple more photos, taken a bit closer...
I believe we're still looking for more ALCos.

Good choice!
Another Alco scene, please?
"More Alcos or switching?" No switching, but certainly ALCOs.
New York Central PAs lead a short passenger consist west bound past the Farmers Union elevator on the BRVRR layout. I love the sound of an ALCO engine. One of the ships I was stationed on was powered with ALCO engines. No other diesel engine sounds like them.
Lets continue with the ALCO theme.

More switching and Alcos please.
countsrrI believe this is an Alco switcher pulling a box car past Pepsi on the switch tracks to unknown industry at this point
Actually countsrr, it's an SW1500, but it's close enough for me! I like it. I see the WC mark on it, under the road number, my favorite road.
Here's the prototype, before the CN took over the WC. It's the one on the right.
Continue on with switching and switchers, and Alcos!

Posters for The Cramps always count! One of my favorite bands of all time. Now I am going to have Goo Goo Muck stuck in my head all day long. I saw them live in a Louisiana bar in 1982 when I was 14 years old.
Thanks Peter.
