I only have 2 switchers but I thought I'd share this one for the LOTW for this go around. Im still working it doing some light weathering,replacing the handrails,horn, and installing Kadees. Its a Con-Cor MP-15 with the Kato drive.

My LOTW is a project I started tonight. The rough work is done, Now I clean the parts, paint the shell & chassis and assemble:
I posted a new topic describing it.

Stunning E6 set, catfordken. They're my second favourite streamliners after the Alco PA.
The Prospector! Been too long since I posted anything D&RGW so here is a Bachmann F9A in Rio Grande 4 striped Aspen Gold. Light, quick off the mark and surprisingly quiet, it's one of my oldest and well worn locos but hasn't missed a beat. I guess toy locos also need to be rugged.
