Because of the nature of their work, moving cars around railroad yards, switch engines spent much of their time waiting for their assignments. That means steam switchers needed smaller fireboxes, boilers, and tanks than road engines. The cut out or sloping tanks on most steam switchers were designed to give good rear visibility, which was essential for these small and agile engines that needed to slip into tight spaces where other engines could not fit. The 0-6-0 switcher would typically have been assigned to move about six cars at a time. The rugged RailKing 0-6-0, available in a host of roadnames, is perfect for working the yard of any early twentieth-century layout.
