They have one outside rusting away and one inside in great condition
How are those oils doing anything to anybody the same as the asbestos shields which I can't see how they were a problem

What is just as sad is what happened at the RR Museum of PA in Strasburg
They had a K4--M1  -- L1 and H8

The EPA made them take the asbestos  covers off exposing all the rivets and instead of being inside they are out in the weather to deteriorate and act as a magnet for bird droppings
Whether the decision to put them outside was the EPA edict or the Museum's I don't know  but there is space inside if they get rid of the passenger cars in there

I want a PRR 2-8-2 and a 2-8-0

They had more of them than some RRs had engines

So far as I know the Rio Grande NEVER had a loco with a belpaire firebox.  In my opinion  the Pensy"s  locos looked very powerfull, bruteish, and ugly!  Just my opinion.  The H model in question looked so out of place in a Colorado mountain setting that it just totally grossed me out and spoiled the scene.

They are that

What % of a typical consist in the Transition Era would be home Road

PRR M1/M1a and 2-10-0 were niche engines and were successful sellers for BLI

Yet there were many more PRR 2-8-0 freight engines than any other kind and were in service till the end of steam

473--H10s-----------586--H9s   alone

I wish they would come out with a PRR Mikado

MEA CULPA
My bad
That was a 24R NOT 22R

I was thinking of my old code 100 which was 22  and 18

My code 83 is 24 and 22

Here is a pic I previously posted
It shows the 2884 on a 22R curve

Ran mine on my 22R no problem but I bought it as part of my Articulated collection not as a daily runner on my layout

Collection is here

Wish the PRR unit came with roof antennas

I just ordered the MTH unit yesterday

Could have saved some $$$$

Mine doesn't work either
I'll have to check the plug

Did a great job
Wish I could do mine but way to many engines and rolling stock
They look so much more real weathered

Hell yes I would buy one as soon as it became available

I am sure the Bachmann  K4s didn't have any selling problem

Man that is some high wheeled beast
