Would have preferred to see the 1938 train with a Dreyfuss Hudson on point... but it's still going to be a must-buy. The great rivals will be...
Adding a big +1 to the small structure requests. Most of us don't have the room for basement empires, even though that's what always gets the...
I could wax poetic about steam all day... but I have to admit that my favorite models to run, right now, are my E-R Pennsy sharks and Atlas CNJ...
Still wouldn't mind more East coast trains, either! LV Black Diamond with a re-release of PAs, maybe?
I might be seeing things, but I think they might be putting that train together from bits of previous sets. Everything present can be found in...
I've been to see #4012 at Steamtown many times... now I'm gonna have to find the time and money for a trip out west to see #4014 in action. Good...
My solution to runaway hobby knives is to keep a block of closed-cell foam on my workbench. Any knife I'm not using goes in the foam. Soft enough...
The first two times I stripped paint off a locomotive were lessons in humility and patience. The second moreso than the first. The first was a...
Thankfully, Pennsy steam has some good representation now. Bmann's K4s has a few little issues (cylinders too wide, postwar models are black...
It is a heavy Mike; here's the thread with a photo of the pre-production sample. It's still not listed on the BLI site, though. Since Kato's is...
Here's a sure-thing steam cash-in: Bmann reworking their perennially excellent 2-8-0 as a Pennsy H8 (more built than K4s, M1s, and T1s combined-...
Hate to be "that guy," but I have to throw my hat in with the Big Boy. Athearn's offering was just too rich for my blood... and Kato is one of too...
The short answer? T1s pulled pretty much everything Pennsy had on its passenger roster in the late 40s, starting at the top with lightweight...
The old price point was great, sure... but once you factor in inflation plus whatever improvements Atlas has made, it's likely worth the new MSRP....
Heh... I ended up with two Broadway Limited sets, though the second one was mostly so I could get my hands on duplicates of the...
Seems as though sales on the M1a/b and T1 were enough to convince BLI to go all-in on N scale steam- good! I was honestly expecting (and maybe...
In Pennsy and Lehigh Valley? My wallet says ouch already. This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for when Atlas revealed that they'd...
^ That really doesn't get said enough. If there's a particular car or consist you like for your railroad, feel free to totally ignore any and all...
The Model Power combine is actually a Pennsy MPB-70... and yes, it's an RPO/Baggage/Coach combine. It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to...
Fingers crossed for some FA1s and FA2s in the future.
