Overview

Switch engines are an essential, specialized piece of railroad equipment that look quite different from their kin that work the mainline. Because of the nature of their work, moving cars around railroad yards, switch engines spent much of their time waiting for their assignments, so steam switchers needed smaller fireboxes, boilers, and tanks than road steamers. The cut out or sloping tanks on most steam switchers were designed to give good rear visibility, which was essential for these agile engines. Thanks to the two extra drivers, the 0-8-0 switcher was able to do much heavier work than its smaller 0-6-0 counterpart, so it generally took over switching duties in large yards. The RailKing 0-8-0 is perfect for working the yard of any twentieth century steam-era layout. This sturdy model comes in the markings of the Baltimore & Ohio, Burlington, New York Central, and Union Pacific railroads.
