Lil' Critter Diesel Locomotive

Nothing was more ubiquitous than 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, modified by the factories to suit their particular needs. Key to the Lil' Critter look was 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.
