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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Very nice steam switchers you have!

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

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

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

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

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.

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..😊😊

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.

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!

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!

You have a lot of nice steam switchers.

I have a

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

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