The other day, my remote gave a Maintenance Required message for my ATSF PA1. Kind of surprised me that it had 1000 scale miles on the ODO, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since I like it and it’s a passenger loco that is run at higher speeds. I checked my maintenance file to make sure I hadn’t already lubed it and got to wondering what other locos are in the 1000 club.
I have 43 DCS locos (including 2 Williams that were upgraded to PS3). Eleven of them have over 1000 scale miles. So here they are. Honored members of the MTH 1000 Club
ATSF PA1 #68 - I got this 3 years ago and as I said it gets run a lot.
Reading F7 #283 - Another passenger loco. Ran it a lot when I first got it, but not so much lately.
LVRR GP38 #324 - I like LV colors so they get a lot of run time.
PRR 2-8-8-2 #376 - My first DCS loco and charter member of the club. This one has over 2000 scale miles on the ODO.
LVRR C628 #629 - Did I mention that I like LV paint schemes?
Reading 4-8-4 #2123 - A Railking model patterned after an ATSF FEF. In iron horse rambles paint.
D&H RS3 4085 - I knew nothing about the D&H before I saw this in the 2011V1 catalog. Had to have the lightning stripe. Now I’m a big time D&H fan.
PRR K4S #5475 - Had to have a K4S too.
C&O AS616 #5562
PRR PA1 #5752 - Another charter member of the club with over 2000 miles.
CBQ Zephyr #9900 - One of my favorites.
Who else has members of this exclusive club? Let us see them.
