Reply to "Help With Pennsylvania RR Passenger Train Question"

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

The sharks you have and the new Lionels are FREIGHT units (with 4-wheel trucks) and these did not have boilers for steam heat thus were not used on passenger trains.  The PASSENGER sharks as imported by Weaver have 6-wheel trucks and are longer than an E7/E8.  The PRR never, ever owned a freight shark painted tuscan red.  They were all Dark Green Locomotive Enamel (DGLE).

A time warp is one thing, as with your E7's, but warping to an alternate reality (tuscan freight sharks) is a warp too far.
