Well I stopped by my LHS today and just could not leave without a few of these units. :) Then had my friend detail them up some except the switcher ran out of time. I just love GP 9's and NW 2 switchers. These WBB units are just great.

Wow that switcher looks great. i may have to look at getting one.
Yes the switcher is great looking and runs wonderful as all my Williams engine. I was surprised to see the rails as wire and not stamped metal very nice. It is so nice just to run the handle up and watch those engines move and no problems. The other manufacturers have all those button and whistle and you read about issues and I am not for issues. I know to each their own and that is why I switched to Williams. Thank you WBB for your products. Please keep up the great work and most of all the price point is GREAT.
Those GP-9's are nice.

Around Detroit I see NS and CP most often. I'm not a big diesel fan, but those "Ponies" sure are pretty with nice clean paint.
Here is the NW 2 switcher done in Southern.
