Let's See YOUR Pennsy Train Collection!

Wow!  Impressive Pennsylvania Railroad collection for a UP fan.

Lots of Pennsy, but it's all mixed up with the others right now.  Half of them are also still in boxes, gotta' get more shelves up!

Who doesn't like UP steam?

Great shelf John...  you have some UP in there!

Lots of UP and Pennsy, and I'm working on the Reading.

I actually have more Pennsy than UP.

I was planning a rebalance...

John...  i love that PRR transfer locomotive you have...  i want one someday...

They are a cool locomotive, I wish I had seen the prototype, must have been fairly impressive.  That sucker is a smokin' fool it has two smoke units, a real fog choker.

I edited the post to attach the pictures so they expand a bit, makes it easier to see stuff.

Plus various rolling stock

Dave...  love it...  your pw turbines look really nice...

Great pix!  What a colorful, visual catalogue of decades of excellence.

Anyone have models of PRR Q1 or Q2 to share?  I love the Qs...

A few duplicates and none of the HO or N, but you get the general idea. 

Now your talking John...  i just saved your GG1 lineup as my desktop picture...  that is SO cool!  

Bring on the PENNSY!

These are the ones I have out.  When I get the engine yard done I should be able to have them all out.

I took them in a hurry, but still don't know why the focus is off.  May have to retake them.

Awesome Ron!!!

Yeah - really nice.  This thread went really well.  Lifetime bronze castings - you have seen them before.  All O Scale or 17/64:

Boy, if I start posting the PRR passenger and freight cars, I'll need a larger picture!

This is the coolest thing i have seen in a long time!  Makes me want to get more scale GG1s and do something like this...

Army Navy football game...  by train.  I always loved this picture.

When I think of the PRR three locomotives to mind:

• PRR T1
• PRR GG1
• PRR K4

One of these days, I’ll learn to take better pictures... but here is some of my Pennsy fleet.

These MPC GP9’s were my first foot fall on a lifelong journey down the slippery slope..

The monster S1(have a T1 also, but it is packed away somewhere!!!)

Two JLC GG-1’s

A VisionLine GG-1 with 21” Broadway Limited passenger cars

Pennsy Baldwin Sharks

A pair of Pennsy PA’s

A pair of MPC era F3’s

The matching set of MPC era aluminum passenger cars on the lower shelf

And finally, an entry from Menards!!!

My first engine was a 671 so Pennsy is sort of special even though I had never seen a real one on the tracks.  I am more of a Santa Fe or UP fan.  Anyway here goes:

Some of my PRR by Lionel collection.

He who dies with the most toys wins...

That first emperor of China was buried with a HUGE collection.  They havent unearthed it all yet!  Terracotta soldiers etc...

Xian's Tomb...

Just picture a train collection this big!

Although one could say "You can't take it with you"  ; not making any value judgements, just an observation.

H*ll, I've been to entire train shows that didn't have THAT much stuff!!!

All I have is a 671, a Williams scale GG1 and a Lionel scale switcher. I have work to do. And my Challenger is a Denver and Rio Grande, not UP.

While it is true that you cannot take it with you, there is some degree of satisfaction knowing that you have given the kids something to do for the next several years.

I think it's safe to say that the current champ is Johnsgg1, that's an amazing collection!
