Reply to "A good year for Penn Central fans"

Count me as another PC fan. I've painted a set of Weaver E-8s in PC black as well as; (old) Atlas F units...Atlas RS-1....MTH N5c cabeese.....(old) Atlas mill gondolas...2 Weaver GP-38-2s.....and I bought the WbB F3s when they came out.

I'm happy with all that is offered in Penn Central to help remind us all of the largest corporate failure in history (until then). When you think about the fact that PC was in existence from 1968 until the formation of Conrail in 1976.....we fans are pretty lucky.

Still think about the poor condition of the passenger fleet headed toward Renovo and north from Lock Haven as the PC trudged past our football practice field at (then) Lock Haven State College c. 1969. Dirty....ripped window blinds...and very few passengers.....ugh!

Got to get one of those new Lionel PC N5b cabeese!!!
