Bruce - Great start. I always find switchers interesting. What types ate they?

The last couple of weeks I have been organizing, checking, and tuning up boxcars. I am about 90% done.

Here is the 50 and 60 footers

Tom,
Thanks, the switchers are both SW1500's from Athearn.  The one on the right is an older blue box model.  Looks like you have quite the collection of cars.  I also tried to save the boxes that the car models came with but most of them were ruined from a water pipe leak in the basement.

The Consolidation Line[1] was a series of diesel-electric railway locomotive designs produced by Fairbanks-Morse and its Canadian licensee, the Canadian Locomotive Company. Railfans have dubbed these locomotives “C-liners”.Here's an A-B-A set working on the Stoney Creek Hill.
