    Finished the MDT and Steamer. All are DCCed with ESU Nanos and have directional LED lighting. Now for a break to allow my eyes to un-cross. Vern

    EXCELLENT - great overall look and finish. And DCC’d as well! I’m impressed. Your inability to ever see straight again is a small price to pay for results like this. :D:ROFLMAO:

    Very nice indeed! I’d love to see these on a layout! And I’m sure Kurt is drooling out there when he sees these in Milwaukee livery! :)

    I should note that the Monon unit shell is a Walt Smith design on Z-Makers frame. Sorry, Walt!

    I don't know how this thread escaped my attention! Great job Vern, you did an excellent job building you switchers. And thanks Rudy and Walt for designing them!

    Thanks, Robert. A compliment from the "MaZter" is good to hear.

    No problem I have my Shay with a Z makers frame. He does good work with using the shorty parts. the First Shay I did I was using the Searail Power max V2 in the tender of the shay but now there hard to get any! then showcaseminitures came out with one that's almost the same but it has plastic gears and run Quiter!
