QUOTE: Originally posted by WSOR 3801 I took a Con-cor SW7 with the Kato drive and put a Cary SW1500 shell on it. Runs nice and pulls good. Cary also made all-metal Alco S1 and FM H10-44 shells, to fit Athearn or Hobbytown drives. If you want to pull the walls down with your switcher, that is the way to go. Atlas S2 and Walthers H10-44 are both heavy, geared down and can pull a good string of cars.
