Hello, Where are all the Pennsy people, I can't be the only one. Sure hope the Pennsy hasn't become passe. Anybody care to join in, I'm fluent in PRR.
Welcome aboard! Yes. There are indeed Pennsy folks here. One of our Forum moderators is a PRR modeler. Certainly there are others. Boxcab E50
I rode round trip from Chicago to Philadelphia and back on the PRR in 1956. Does that count? GG1s were sure awesome looking engines to a four year old. Don't know where they took the E7s off and went electric but was a surprise getting off the train in Philadelphia and finding the power was different.
Welcome to the forum. I'll have to admit that I'm about 100% PRR. I will put some Penn Central into the mix once in a while. PRR Steam ..... can't get enough. ....Eddie
New guy, but PRR all the way. Steam, and dare I say, "Modern Diesel". A friend and I on the internet (when it was still fairly new) came up with the then unthinkable. An alternate universe type sceme where the PRR didn't fall. I've not finished mine, but we were each doing SD90MACs in DGLE with bow wave striping. He sent me photographs of his, it was awesome looking. We took a ton of crap on one of the PRR boards, only to be justified (although not in paint) when Conrail was split up and everyone saw modern horsepower with PRR lettered under the cab armrests. Love modeling the Pennsy during WWII. No red blooded American male can look at an I1 pulling a consist of flat cars loaded with M3 Shermans and not think that's just cool.
Count me in as a PRR nut. I currently enjoy researching all the long abndoned PRR low grade lines. Russ
Unfortunitly I don't have any of his engines, and mine aren't done yet. I've been so busy with my business, that I've just not had time to paint and decal them. Maybe this winter. I remember his looked awesome. The large crew cab design lent itself to the bow wave striping.
I guess I be a Pennsy fan too, having grew up not far [and now live by] from the PRR’s Vandalia line. I have been during some research on it’s history, along the TH&PRR, both which ran through eastern ILL. I’ve found a little bit, but not a lot on both. inch
Still here. I may not post here much, as there are many other things to occupy my attention. Though I'm not always sure myself why, I come back to the PRR.
