Hi there, I have recently decided modelling was not difficult building a British TT layout so I have decided to make life more fun and start in N scale. The new project is PRRin th e period 1956-68 set around the Appalacian coal drag scene. I am currently collecting locos and rolling stock and learning alot about some quite unfamiliar things. Space for the layout is a spare room 13' X 14' but this has to be shared with the TT layout so I am looking at maybe 3 long but narrow (12") shelves with a return loop at each end. It is a bit of a challenge at the moment as the only information but being a PRR fan running coal trains with Baldwin sharks is quite a motivating factor. Only drawback i hve found is the need for many minitrix pacifics to kitbash.
Hi Matt! Welcome aboard! We are happy you joined our happy family. Be sure to keep us informed on your progress with some photos. :thumbs_up:
Good to have you on board! Never quite my "cup of tea," but there is something classy about a lot of the PRR locos.
Have to agree, there is something about the PRR, especially the Steam and electrics that convinced me, a lifetime British prototype fan to start something different. With the steamers it is the belpare fireboxes that look like UK locos on steriods. Of course in N scale we are a bit limited for steam but I have my N track steam loco handbook so I I need is the raw materials.
