Minuteman Steam Episode 9: The Switchers

The Boston & Maine's switcher locomotive fleet was the backbone of their everyday operations, providing an invaluable service in switch yards, around passenger terminals, on mainlines, and branchlines. In this episode, we examine these small but mighty machines.

    I always loved these 0-6-0 and 0-8-0 Switchers

    I have had the opportunity to watch a number of these videos and I just wanted to say how well done they are. Keep up the great work!

    Probably my favorite episode of MMS yet. So much atmosphere, and great photos. Really nice that you guys list some specs in blueprint form to get quick reference.

    I cannot get over the way you present this… and how thoroughly it is researched. It is so very interesting and educational. You may want to contact the Smithsonian as these videos seem to be all encompassing reviews of an American way of life that sadly is gone forever. Great job!

    0-8-0 switchers are the best kind of switchers, imo.

    Many of my favorite engines are switchers.

    I am realizing the list of B&M steamers I want to model is growing huge. And I’m not even close to being done with my B15 model

    Been working on an HO scale model of Number 64, the F-10, never found drawings and it is definitely a challenge but I got most of it done. I just need to figure out how to make it work
