Photo and videos show my MTH Premier Long Island Rail Road G5s 4-6-0 #21 steam engine (20-3068-1) with a train of K-Line “Dashing Dan” passenger cars. I purchased this PS2 model in 2002 and it has been running on my 12’-by-8’ layout (with a BCR) ever since. It threw a traction tire just after I took these videos, so I removed the shell, replaced the tire, cleaned the wheels, and tested it. The G5s was developed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1923 for commuter runs in the Pittsburgh region. The LIRR, a PRR subsidiary, received 31 G5s engines between 1924 and 1929. They remained in service on Long Island until 1955.
