Joe Lyons posted:The train on the bridge is made up of a shorty GG-1 which was made by John Daniels and presented as a gift to Bob McCoy. You can't see it in the picture, but on one said it says "McCoy" and on the other "Daniels". I picked this up from Bonnie McCoy a few years ago and recently got it running with a motor from Ira Keeler. It is basically a cut down version of the Daniels GG-1 with the same motor and same problems.
The baggage (Beaver Falls) and passenger cars (Linden Falls, Spruce Falls, Aspen Falls) are the MTH Tinplate Traditions 330 series PRR trains named after the waterfalls. The catalog#s for the set and the extra coach are 10-1212-1 and 10-5023. The baggage car # is 10-5080.
I noticed it started life out as a Daniels, but really cool to know that it involved both Daniels and Bob McCoy. I remotored mine recently (still with two motors), adapting a couple of NWSL G gauge units and a Dallee reversing unit. Glides down the track. But looks scared when next to my Gold Standard GG1 (which is about twice as long and an inch taller)!
