prrjim posted:If you want a 2 rail model, Max grey did a very nice one with the stubby/chubby proportions that pulls well. Sunset (what it was called before adding "3rd rail") also did one in the 80s I think that was very nicely detailed. And if you want a door stop and can find one, Saginaw Models did one way back with a sand cast bronze boiler. The size proportions seem right, most details cast on and not as nice details as later brass.
Thanks Jim. I am looking for a 3-rail model that either comes with TMCC or is a candidate for such an upgrade (preferably ERR). I have a number of Williams PRR brass locomotives (they don't make a G5s to my knowledge) that have been converted nicely in this manner. Weaver is looking like the locomotive of choice at this point in time. No doorstops, please. Eventually, this locomotive will pull a 3-4 passenger car commuter train on the layout.
