Kit built switcher?

   I've bought this little switcher on EBay, nicely put together but I would like to find out more about it.

Can anyone name the kit maker and also the manufacturer of the real prototype?

The RPM-East prototype modeler meet kicked off tonight with operating sessions at a number of layouts around Pittsburgh. I operated on Roy Ward's HO scale West Virginia Central & Pittsburgh Railroad and had a great time.

An Alco Models Brass S1 - ReMotor / Re Build

Many many moons ago I modeled the New Haven in N scale.at some point i stumbled across an Alco models Brass Ho S1. Not knowing anything at the time about cheap brass I jumped at it. Well cracks in the truck gearboxes and rough tower gearing ect made it a shelf model.

While at a show a while back i picked up an Atlas S2 for another project but I thought the trucks may fit under the Brass s1 Frame. Shore enough they did and were but require some spacer washer to gain some clearance for the truck swing.

Frenchman River Model Works Tug Boat

While not something I intended for my layout I got this kit years ago out of curiosity more then anything.

It has been sitting on the shelf in half built state for a few years so i decided to finish it up.

Editor driving me nuts rotating images

Joe or moderators, I need your help. I just spent uploaded a bunch of photos into a post. Unfortunately, all of them needed rotating as they came from an iPhone. In most cases, when I rotated them, they would get truncated. If I reloaded them and rotated them, I eventually got them done, but it was a frustrating experience. Here are the steps I took.

Any DT&I modelers?

So, I ended up with 6 pounds of decals from the estate of a large scale modeler. A majority of these 1/29 decals are DT&I.

I have 2 big questions.

1. Anyone have any interest in 1/29 DT&I decals? I'm thinking there's easily 50 sets of the DT&I logo that this guy had custom printed. I have plans for 1 or 2 sets as I was able to acquire one of this guy's unfinished boxcar projects. Now I have the decals to finish that car.
