Right-of-Way PRR T1

I doubt you’re gonna get a genuine ROW coupler,…..I’m not even sure if anybody got the parts from ROW, ……let’s see if we can find you a suitable replacement. Flip the tender on her back, and hold a ruler or tape from one end of the coupler & take a picture, & post it up on here……..then we can make suggestions…..

And you’re in the wrong forum,……this belongs in the 3 rail traditional forum,…….bye bye thread,…..

Is the ROW T1 not scale? I have not bought any of their models but I have seriously looked at them.

Yeah, it is, but 3RS is not for all scale locomotives. 3RS is an emphasis of FULL scale modeling on 3 rail, …..so crab claw couplers are out in 3RS …..use the crab claw vs. a Kadee as the line in the sand……

And please post a few good photos of your T1. They are not very common and were pretty nice pieces for their time. These have 2 motors if I'm not mistaken set up similar to the traditional GG1s of various manufacturers with the two drive wheel sets able to pivot independently of each other to handle smaller curves.

I recently got a PRR T1 from eBay  that is one of Right-of-Way's locos.  It runs very nicely on the tiny layout I have set up for my younger son.  I've got o48 curves so it does well.  It is number 296 out of 340. I was wondering where I might get a replacement rear coupler for it.  Or do you know of another coupler that would work?

My loco came without a box so I have no info on it or instructions.  What is the switch for on the top of the cab?  Does anyone have copies of the instructions that they could copy or send pics of?

Sorry to ask so many questions.  Thanks for your help!

The switch on the top of the cab is reverse unit lock out.

I know some of the couplers have zinc pest.  You'll have to see what's available in the aftermarket place.

Sorry, I don't have any instructions.
