Nice video. When will you add a Bi-Polar?

I never heard the Pennsy steam whistle, even though I saw a Mike go by in 1956, and rode behind a K4 out of Penn Station in Philly.

Bob, I recently missed out on this NJCB bipolar in an auction. I was outbid by $25. I sold for $425.



I do have an interest in the MTH as I have DCS and it will operate in 2 rail. Problem is it’s not offered with scale wheels. It would be an expensive undertaking to have them converted I’m sure. If the O Gauge wheels aren’t the old style giant pancake flange type I might consider it.

Nice, Jon

Jon,
That is definitely a Pennsy whistle sound. All PRR locos did not have the same whistle, not even in the same class. Besides that high pitched
one there was a very deep steamboat sounding one and others in between. Really nice models.

Oh, one criticism. For that time period you need a cabin car (caboose). PRR had several types but they did not have any with bay windows.

LOL, Roger!! As I was running the engine last night I looked up and saw the cabin car on the shelf! I’m good now!

N6b - my favorite caboose design.

The woman in the boxcar is in need of some fasteners...

I also like that cabin car.
Now tell us what is going on in that box car.

She was supposed to get off at Petticoat Junction, but overslept.

Their loss, our gain.
