PROTOTYPE HISTORY
Nothing was more ubiquitous that the Lil’ Critters, used primarily
in factories to move around rolling stock left off by the mainline systems
for the factory to load and unload. These switchers were made by a variety
of companies, often from parts from larger locos and were modified by the
end user factories to suit their particular needs. Key to the Lil’
Critter looks were the side panels added to the drive train to prevent accidents
with the floor workers who scurried about while the rolling stock was being
moved.
