My one Pennsy engine really is not Pennsy. It's my Lionel starter set 4-4-2, and apart from the roadname on the tender, is devoid of any signature PRR features. Nevertheless, between my starter set and it's two expansion packs, the Pennsylvania is the most well represented road in my fleet.

I have a RMT GG1 on order, but don't see myself getting any other Pennsy engines anytime soon. For a time I really wanted to get a LionMaster T1, but I don't have those kind of funds right now.

I like the Pennsylvania's streamlined locomotives--steam, diesel, and electric--because I think they look dark and moody, especially in DGLE. I cannot help but think "Batman" whenever I see them.

And as far as books: The History of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Timothy Jacobs.
