Reply to "Help With Pennsylvania RR Passenger Train Question"

Paul, according to the book Limiteds, Locals and Expresses in Indiana, 1838-1971 by Craig Sanders (Indiana University Press), power for the The South Wind consisted of K4s Pacifics followed by Baldwin passenger sharks (as done in brass 3-rail by Weaver Models) and then followed by E7 and E8 locomotives.  There is no mention of T1's.

I sent you an e-mail with scans of the appropriate pages.  They are not posted here due to potential copyright issues.

Bob;

Thank you so much for all the info... greatly appreciated

I don’t own a K4s, so I might have to try the T1 anyway (special run, filling in for a disabled K4!!!). I do have a set of PRR Baldwin Sharks, but they are Brunswick Green. May have to look for one of the recent Lionel Tuscan versions. From what I’ve read, the FOM cars were retired in the late 40’s/1950 which may have been before my E7’s came on the scene.

Luckily, my layout exists in a permanent time warp, so absolutely anything is possible
