Reply to "Who makes a PRR G5s (4-6-0) locomotive?"

Retlaw posted:
The Weaver model has the earlier fancy "pin striped" paint job on the engine/tender. Don't know the era you model, but later in life these engines had the basic dark green with just "Pennsylvania" on tender and the number on the cab.
Also, being a commuter engine, it has a small tender. May be a tight squeeze to get control system and sound system in the tender.
Found this picture in another post: Weaver G5

Thanks man! Appreciate the photo as well. The era is a little early for me, but I've got other PRR brass with the same livery.

The small tender shouldn't be a problem. Cary Van Nuis at All Aboard Trains got ERR TMCC, sounds, and speed control components into a Williams B6sb sloped back tender for me and it is fabulous. This tender is much larger than the one for the B6sb.
