PENN CENTRAL fans, get excited!

I can finally start passenger service on my layout!!!  I would like to see them make a matching E8 set to pull them.  I would also like to see a SD45 in PC paint.

I'm going to preorder a railking set and a couple years ago I made up a Penn central Congressional set from early Williams Aluminum cars but they will become surplus when the new cars arrive. I will order 2 maybe 3 extra coaches since I like long passenger trains since I don't believe MTH will make another run for a while since the PC is not the most popular road. I'll also ebay the vista dome out since they didn't use them. But for the people that want a dome, remember it's your railroad and you run what you want lol. Williams makes a nice F-3 as well as a scale GG-1 to pull your cars Tom. I seen the GG-1s go for pretty reasonable prices in the bay.

Ironically, to be strictly prototypical in addition to the domes the observation car and the baggage cars have to get nixed too. In the entire 8 disc set of Emery Gulash Penn Central footage, I never saw observation cars or baggage cars that weren't ex-PRR B60s.

 

It's a shame the 3rd Rail Penn Central E7s got cancelled, these would've gone great with them. They'll go great with any scale PC GG-1 and the semi-scale versions likewise with their counterparts. I just finished a custom Lionel Penn Central F-3 that would look fantastic pulling the semi scale set:

 

This is a big surprise! A PC passenger set is one item I  thought would never be produced.

 

I did my own rendition of PC passenger service using various passenger and head end cars from MTH, Atlas, Weaver, and a custom kit model. I'll try to post pix sometime.  Tom in PGH

I'll get a few of the Railking cars. Cool set.
