Hi everyone. Some images of my Lionel PRR HH1. Never heard of a HH1, or 2-8-8-2? Well, they had two HH1 engines, the first was an early one-off for pusher service that was gone by 1930. The second was when the Pennsy bought six Y3s from N&W in 1943 to meet increased wartime demand, and reclassified them as a HH1. Why HH1? The Pennsy's consolidations, or 2-8-0, were H class. Put two H class engine back to back, and you have a HH1. Simple.
