I just love these little old guys and can't resist photographing them when I find them. A little weird... I know. Cheers.

That's a great little engine. It's had a nice long life. I'll bet the crew would like it if the glass was still in it too!

Nice shot, Croasdail. Here's a link to a photo I took a month or so ago of a similar type old switcher (I'd post the picture, but I didn't want to jack your thread).

It's very minimalist, isn't it? I wonder what it will become when it grows up? ;) (I'd post the picture, but I didn't want to jack your thread). :D Like that ever stopped most of us?! :D

Spencer87... this is a GE 45 ton switcher that could have been likely built in the early 1940s.
