Hello,
Where are all the Pennsy people, I can't be the only one. Sure hope the Pennsy hasn't become passe. Anybody care to join in, I'm fluent in PRR.

Welcome aboard!

Yes. There are indeed Pennsy folks here. One of our Forum moderators is a PRR modeler. Certainly there are others.

:D

I rode round trip from Chicago to Philadelphia and back on the PRR in 1956. Does that count? graemlins/220.gif GG1s were sure awesome looking engines to a four year old. :D Don't know where they took the E7s off and went electric but was a surprise getting off the train in Philadelphia and finding the power was different.

Welcome to the forum.

I'll have to admit that I'm about 100% PRR. I will put some Penn Central into the mix once in a while.


PRR Steam ..... can't get enough.

New guy, but PRR all the way. Steam, and dare I say, "Modern Diesel". A friend and I on the internet (when it was still fairly new) came up with the then unthinkable. An alternate universe type sceme where the PRR didn't fall. I've not finished mine, but we were each doing SD90MACs in DGLE with bow wave striping. He sent me photographs of his, it was awesome looking. We took a ton of crap on one of the PRR boards, only to be justified (although not in paint) when Conrail was split up and everyone saw modern horsepower with PRR lettered under the cab armrests.

Love modeling the Pennsy during WWII. No red blooded American male can look at an I1 pulling a consist of flat cars loaded with M3 Shermans and not think that's just cool. :D

Can you post some of the photos? It would be nice to see what the PRR would look like today.

Count me in as a PRR nut. I currently enjoy researching all the long abndoned PRR low grade lines.
