Here are the others from my collection. MTH PS1 0-6-0 NYC - Sturdy, reliable strong puller.  MTH PS3 B&M SW9 - Probably my favorite!  MTH PS3 RS-3 NYC - What's not to like!  Lionel LionChief RS-3 B&M - Wrong shade of red by Lionel, but I still enjoy this engine.  Williams 44-tonner CN (Great taste firewood!)  And a couple of Postwar, including the NW-2 aforementioned bell ringer that Joe loves and a "cute" motorized unit switcher in New Haven.   |

Adam, Thanks for sharing the video. That is the first time I have heard a bell on a lionel post war engine. Alfred

While not just a switcher Alco’s RS engines did it all from switching to mainline freight and passenger service and everything in between. Mine is a New York Central RS-1.  |

Switchers, yeah I have a few.
There are 3 Alco S-2 switchers that I had repainted for Weirton Steel. Number 207 & 208 are ex-Lionel Western Pacific (TMCC). Number 203 is an ex-Lionel Chicago & Northwestern (Legacy).

Southern SW7 Lion Chief Plus was difficult to find, found this one a few years ago. Maybe another will show itself.  |

My favorite switcher must be the post war Lionel 627 Lehigh Valley GE44, since it is the only switcher I have (frowning face) I will feature it at some point in a photo or video heading a consist that I have wanted to put together for a long time. Alfred . At the sac trainmet I also picked up a Lionel postwar 625 LV in great shape, looks like c-7 for only $ 40. It runs great, eBay prices were 100-125 for that switcher.
