If Tyco made a Penn Central Plymouth Industrial Switcher, I thought it might look like this:

| Nice work, AF Kid. I especially like the side zebra stripes. Whats the pulling power like on these little locos? Do you think they could handle a few heavy metal hoppers?

Mostly likely- 2-3. They are super fast, but have no traction tires on them.

| Thanks for the info, AF Kid. I was hoping the switcher would be super slow for shunting work. Mantua had the molds for this particular loco, didn't they? If Model Power now has them, maybe they could give it the MetalTrain treatment. Would work pretty well I should think.

| Wow, that looks a lot nicer than the PC diesel switcher they actually released. Nice work! Especially on the pilots; masking those stripes is always a tricky job.
