More from my PRR themed layout

Dave I like that Livestock Car.

Here’s mine I bought late last Summer it’s the Lionel Pennsylvania Flyer with some added 027 car I personally like the Pennsylvania Piggy back Flatcar.

Lee,

Thats a LionScale stock car that I picked up at York last October for a very fair price.

A Pennsy J1a...

Norm;

Your layout is absolutely the most realistic I’ve ever seen. While I am not a fan of weathering equipment, your weathering seems just right - obviously hard working equipment without looking decrepit!!! And the Q2’s are beautiful engines. Now, I have to ask one dumb question... how did you film the parts from inside the shop??? Talk about realistic - amazing.

Thanks. Interior shots are from my iPhone 12.

The one and only Tuscan Pennsy VO 1000 used at Sunnyside yards.

Well while no where near as neat as the beautiful engines that have been posted, the attached PRR ore car came from MPC in 1987.  While I have no idea how many or even if the PRR had any cars of this sort, Lionel felt that they were prototypical enough to produce them.  So here is the Lionel MPC 19300 PRR ore car.

Best wishes for a great rest of the week

I only have a few engines and rolling stock, but I do live in Pennsylvania!

Whether or not the Pennsy actually had a Tuscan K4 is still up to debate, but it can't be denied it does look pretty good. Definitely would look better with a set of coaches instead of a mixed freight but it is what it is.

Have to add my GP-9 #2028, Thanks for all who posted.

Here’s one of my favorite Custom Piggyback Trailers I made. The Trailer was a undecorated Weaver that I painted and decaled the flat car is a Lionel PS-4.

Nice looking Trailer Lee.

The PRR's Q1, a single prototype built in 1942, was an 4-6-4-4 duplex design with the rear cylinders reversed and under the firebox to allow larger drivers.  The engine was built for fast freight but the cylinder locations resulted in a smaller firebox that could not maintain boiler pressure under load, limiting its sustained speed.  It had streamlining when it was first built, but it was removed in 1944 because it interfered with maintenance and was not that effective at low speeds.  The engine was last used in 1948 and scraped in 1949.

The is a 3rd Rail model.
