This is a Plymouth switcher. It is made by AHM in the '70s I would say.
I have had these before, and Yes, they are reliable. I never wore one out!!!
can the couplers be changed out to KADEES?
if so-- i might bid on it. whats a reasonable maximum bid?

Just FYI, the NH never had anything like that.
But if your happy, hey, never mind.
Good price!
Neat little piece. I own two of them. (Both B&O)

Walthers lists these in their online catalog for $29.00. Actual selling price elsewhere is probably under $20.00.

Kadee has a coupler conversion on their website. www.kadee.com
These were industrial switchers usually found in industrial parks and on waterfront piers or ferry slips.
