Well, as an Eastern trunk line devotee, I was thrilled to get a Pennsy G-26. That car stands out in any consist and always provokes questions and comments from visiting HOers. So I am very grateful to Pennsy S Models for addressing an important need in S scale.
Regardless of personal favorites, we are all PRR and NYC modelers to some extent. Which is a round about way of saying those roads were so dominant everyone should have them represented on his pike--unless your track gauge is too narrow! --- In [email protected], "Bill Lane" <b...@...> wrote: > > All, > > I have not mentioned Pennsy S Models in a while.
