One could really develop a crush on them.
ATHEARN's model of BUFFALO SLAG CO. No. 36 has the color incorrect . the 1:1 model was STONE GRAY with Black block Lettering . I know this due to seeing the loco upclose and being on her.

My initial thought here was the old odd and rare Industial Switchers from what the 1930'S - Present... which means No NC’S , SC’S , SW’s DRG & W and SP K-M’S = KRAUS - MAFFEI .

Speaking of weird and cobbled...
The PRR called it a "GG1/2", though technically speaking it's wheel arrangement was always described as G1. It was kitbashed from a GG1 that was involved in an accident, and worked as a switcher in and around depots on the Northeast Corridor.

I Would consider it a homebuilt Critter ..Speaking of weird and cobbled...

Almost creepy.

Apparently, the PRR pretty much just kept the end of the GG1 that wasn't damaged, and this was possible considering a GG1 is essentially two electric locomotives in one.
And which end would that be?

That's like trying to answer Schrodinger's theory!!
And here's me thinking Quantum physics was a figment of Sheldon's imagination.
If that is quantum physics, then it's time we stopped paying "scientists" exorbitant amounts of money, to sit around contemplating their navels.
