I Built the Most Affordable 7.5" Gauge Locomotive EVER!

In this video were building and testing the 25 ton switch engine I designed! This little switcher is the perfect locomotive for the beginner or anyone looking for a small compact engine. This model costs about $1300 to build. While it isn't cheap, its by far the cheapest locomotive in this hobby, and with great detail! This thing fits in the trunk of a car, meaning you can store and transport this little engine easily. The Ol' Switcheroo is the perfect mix of transportability, and affordability. I had an absolute blast designing, building, and making this video. I hope this video and my design inspires others to get out on the rails, or in the shop building. If there are any other designs you would like to see me make, or video ideas you have drop them in the comments section below. As always thank you so much for watching, and supporting my channel as I grow. I hope to keep making great content, and solid designs to bring the cost of this hobby down.
