Here's a nice electrified Euro engine I picked up at a local show this weekend, $15. Not sure if it runs yet. A Piko, has a switch on the bottom for pantograph or wheel pickup. Needs some work, the Pantograph is broken off partially and missing parts. Still, I like the look of it.
Hope to get some of the engines tested today.

Nice switcher Ken,
I just picked up this Athearn switcher in Frisco paint. I love the look of this thing. Not as nicely detailed as the Atlas though. That thing is gorgeous. It was a little loud when I first put it on the track. I ran it for a good while and installed the cab windows. That's quieted it down some. Still not as silky smooth as an Atlas. The box had most of the handrails in it so I'll be installing those soon which should make it look even better.
AMC: I like that euro engine as well. Reminds me of the offspring between a locomotive and a Winnebago. (In a goo way.)

Adding to the switchers, here's one from a train show a couple weeks ago. Still need to paint the handrails.

Another good Ebay pick this week...... It is in E+ condition. This was in a lot with a trashed Tyco RI Shark and and an unidentified locomotive, all for $12.50.
