Lionel Docksiders

Lionel Lines dockside switcher pulling Skeleton Log Cars...then helping out a C&O dockside switcher with a heavy freight by double-heading.
Both Dockside Switchers are Lionel products. The skeleton log cars are recent Atlas Industrial Rail and the caboose is an MTH Bobber Caboose that I stripped, primed, and repainted with Floquil paints.

@CobaltFoxStudio Well, before I shot that video, I had only one docksider pulling all of those cars. It had no problems pulling them on my O-60 curves. I like double heading them. I think the Lionel 0-6-0 Dockside Switchers are the best deal in O gauge 3rail. They are heavy and pull great, detailed enough to make one happy(except for the clown figures in the cab). I put Woodlan Scenics engineer/fireman figures in the C&O in the video. So far, I have four of these docksiders.

I love Docksides. But how much could a dockside pull?

@KW1689 Thank you Keith.

Hi Keith!

You did an excellent job on your Cliffside. It would look very nice on a layout. Take Care.

Thanks Keith!  Yes, I made the cliffside. It is a 7' X 2' removable backdrop for carpet running. I carved it out of pink foam and then I painted it.

Hi Keith!

Those Docksiders are nice little engines. I liked it when you double-headed both of them to pull all of those cars..very neat. Did you make the Rocky Cliffside in the background? It looks neat. Take Care.
