Nice showcase of steam switchers, I have a 1615 and a Dockside, that's it. I like that single dome tanker too. 💯

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thanks. I love the 1615

@momatmach1 3 месяца назад

Some pretty fast trains being run by these switchers 🤔 great video as ever thanks for sharing

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thanks

Sanitation workers in northern New Jersey were puzzled to find a huge model grain elevator curbside in a suburban neighborhood. Further investigation revealed a new three-rail switching layout in the homeowner's garage, but further details were not forthcoming.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Hahaha.

@MattKonsol 3 месяца назад

Very nice steam switchers you have!

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thank you much

@Cbtrainnut 3 месяца назад

That’s a lot of switch engines Dave! Very cool. Most of mine are diesel Switchers. One dockside. Thanks for sharing! Chris, Cbtrainnut

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

It is! Diesel switchers are great too.

@MFortino 3 месяца назад

Dave suggest you check the axle bushings for the switcher wobble cause..if axle were bent you should see wheel damage…good luck Michael A

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Good point, I’m sure the bushings are probably worn too, I know that’s a problem with at least one of them

@trainman5603 3 месяца назад

Like you I never kept count. However tje later models from Lionel, MTH, and K Line have the really nice bells and whistles + smoke!

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

I’ll always love the old switchers but the newer ones are just too cool

@MygrandpasTrain 3 месяца назад

I think my favorite is the prewar with the bell. If I collected Lionel that would probably be on the list to find

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

The one with the bell is the postwar 1656, its an awesome engine.

@johnandrus3901 3 месяца назад

Very nice. Those small, steam switchers, are pretty cool, for sure. That pre-war one is, I believe, one of the semi-scale engines that Lionel produced. They had a full scale version available, also, that was produced to go along with the 700E, as part of their scale line. The post-war version was basically a continuation of the semi-scale engine. Excellent engines, for sure. I could use one for my updated industrial area, on the layout. A great video, as always.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thanks. I know there were different size/scale pre war 0-6-0s but I don’t remember where the 0-4-0 originated. All my 0-4-0s have been the same size. Scale or not, they are fun

@railchief74 3 месяца назад

So many switchers. I’m jealous that you have the postwar 1656 switcher Dave

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

The 1656 with the bell ringer is a classic

@afleetcommand 2 месяца назад

Some really cool little locomotives... so of that set which get the most run time?

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

That’s a good question. Usually whichever is the newest. The k-line 0-6-0 is run a lot and now the k-Line 0-4-0

@chiconian49 3 месяца назад

You have a lot of nice steam switchers.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thanks

@RichardGeorge-or9zo 3 месяца назад

Dang it Dave! This is the umpteenth time I have watched one of your videos and now I have to have one of these also. Anyway... Thanks man!

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Sorry! There are so many great options!

Hi Dave of all the switchers I like the tiny little porter Pa engine that thing is so cute 🚂😃👍

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

It really is!

@parts323 3 месяца назад

I have a #8977 as well. Damn good locomotive.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Nice, it really is

@robertmadison2752 3 месяца назад

By the way, ask your viewers about "MPC Wobble," apparently related to off-center mounting rather than bent axles.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Yeah I’ve read about a few different issues, bad bushings, out of round wheels, axles. I’ll reserve judgement for when I finally get one of these apart.

@johnlongssilverrailz5873 3 месяца назад

Looks like Granny on the pedestrian bridge needs help. Any boy scouts around? Nice layout, nice collection.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Haha, she’s ok, mostly. I’ll have to send a scout her way.

@tomrogers5516 3 месяца назад

Quite a collection of switchers, Dave. It's almost like you can't pass one up if it's in good shape (or at least seviceable) at good price. I agree with your liking K-Line. They made some awesome steam loco before the end. It's up to you what you a 'switcher' in your collection. Technically, I wouldn't call a Plymouth or a Porter the same as a steam loco yard switcher, but it all depends on how you use them. Thanks for this great review.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thanks. I don’t do any switching so to me an engine is an engine. I just like small engines!

@DRCRailroard 3 месяца назад

Nice collection, Dave, I would need to go through everything I have in storage to know how many I have for sure. I can only think of five off the top of my head. I have a couple of 040's, 2-080's, and the B6 you have of the 8977. The B6 switcher is from 89 so that would make it from the modern era or LTI when Richard Kughn owned Lionel. While it's touted to be a remake of the prewar switcher It's also touted to be the first engine produced with Railsounds. Railsounds wasn't introduced until after the MPC era. Love the double heading but the run session was cut too short. Mabey one day I'll see somebody run these back-to-back like diesels😊.

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Thanks. Yup the first with railsounds. It’s a great little engine. I’ll do some longer running soon

@wayneantoniazzi2706 3 месяца назад

Ten steam switchers? Wow. I don't have any, I guess I'd better get busy and get at least one token 0-4-0 or 0-6-0! That's an impressive collection Dave which I kind of suspect grew without your realizing it! 🤣 Sure, I'd call that little Porter a switcher and by extension that Plymouth as well. In fact I'd say the proper designation should be "industrials" but since an industrial locomotive was a "maid-of-all-work" switching would have been one of the duties assigned so calling them switchers isn't really a stretch. Fun video! Thanks for posting!

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

Yeah I didn’t realize. And I want more. You need at least a 0-4-0. They are just neat. It’s not like I have switching operations on my layout, so I don’t actually worry about designations. If I want to pull 15 cars with a 0-4-0, then that’s what I’ll do! lol.

@SteveRenon 3 месяца назад

Hey Dave what do you use to record your videos?

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

I do all my recording and editing on my iPhone

@Dadified86 3 месяца назад

I just did one on all my steam engines but you look like you have more Switchers than all of my steam! 😂

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

lol, I really have to watch that video!

@andrewaugustyniak2765 2 месяца назад

I know you're not in a hurry for a new layout.But you never painted that brown caboose.Give me your thoughts!!

@dagryffynhobby 2 месяца назад

I’m not in a hurry for much! Haven’t painted the caboose. The mood just hasn’t struck me. It will, eventually

@genemanno1533 3 месяца назад

Gotta like the little buggers. They have character. So small and cute to see running on your tracks. A nice change with brite intricate linkage moving with wheels..😊😊
