Model Railroading > Sierra Northern S6 Switcher At WorkDate: 02/17/19 09:59 Sierra Northern S6 Switcher At Work Author: dlh Sierra Northern Alco S6 409 rumbles off the main track and heads over to switch Valley Canning Company in Loyalton (modelers license). The HO diesel is an old brass unit (Alco Models) that with a little modification slipped right over an Atlas S4 drive. Both structures (Walthers kitbashes) make up the cannery. Industry receives can stock in box cars, tank cars of corn syrup and fruit in reefers. Factory ships out cases of fruit cocktail in insulated boxcars.
