Dave Rouse built 50 kits of the dual engine , chain drive MACK switcher.  Luckily I was able to procure 3 of them over a period of time on ebay.

2 got built, this one in green and another in yellow, the other got sold when I went to build hot rods again.  I can only find these few pictures of the RESIN BODIED model.

Backwoods miniatures in England also created the same loco but used photo etched brass you had to bend.  Was a lot more complicated build and never got to it, sold off.

Mad Mike,
               Hummm, very interesting motive power indeed!  I like it, I see some of the possibilities.   Thanks for sharing.  Thanx Thom...

I LOVE that switcher. Nicely done and, especially, nicely detailed!

Thank you, I would like to find another unbuilt, but seeing as they ( dave rouse of Rochester NY )  only produced 50 , chances are slim.

I did manage to produce a few versions in On30 of rail buses using 1.43 scale 1915 fiat omnibus models.  I think I might have made 6-8 versions.  If I find them on a CDR will post some pictures.
