THE NEW WILLIAMS 4-6-0 STEAM ENGINES ARE HERE.

Good price on the PRR 4-6-0, anyone have one of these that they can provide more detailed pictures? 

The Ringling Brothers 4-6-0 paint scheme in person is pretty sweet!  Couldn't pass getting one up even though it is conventional.

Did have a problem going over my sons little layout on the Lionel Operating Track section.

Jim

pat, how much would the complete circus set cost.

Pat, I'm more interested in the level of detailing on them.

OK, did the PRR have 4-6-0's with a conv., not belpaire, firebox/boiler?

No. 

Rusty

Exactly. Once they go with actual wire handrails, I may pop for one.

im sure these run well and look great also, but i have a lot of operating track sections and as jim reported he had issues with the loco running over the operating section on his sons layout.

as bad as i want one i'll have to hold off until i see if others have trouble with theirs running over the operating sections.

terry.....

Pat,

What make of track are you running?  I have had no problems with switches, just the Lionel FastTrack Operating section.  After the engine goes over the operating track piece the engine halts and about 1/3 the time starts making a awful screeching sound.

Jim

Pat -- I ordered the engine and caboose from you as soon as you mentioned them here. So you can see how posting on the OGR forum can help business. 

Here are some pictures.

Thanks

I see no pictures.

Pictures are not loading for me, either (here at home).

I saw one of the Pennsy 4-6-0s at a hobby shop in Strasburg PA over the weekend, the paint quality and detail were very impressive. The paint was very glossy.  What jumped out at me, though, was that the paint was way too green to be considered PRR Brunswick.  Some folks aren't bothered by such things, though.  I just wish they had spoked drivers and a less toy-like crosshead.

here is a new list of pictures.

Nope, still not seeing pictures except in the initial post in this thread.

A little loud for me (colors) but I have two and they run well. One of mine is going to replicate my great grandfather's B&O loco he ran from Weston WV to Richwood daily for many years. It is not an exact B&O prototype but a decent stand in. I have it repainted but need to make my decals yet. The WbB 4-6-0's are a good deals for sure!

The pictures appear for me, Allan.

What program is needed to see the pictures?  I see the second batch Pat posted but like Allan, not the first.

I see the second set of pictures Pat posted, it was just the first set that didn't make it.

Here are some new pictures.

Thanks

All photos posted in the latest posts show up just fine, but not those in the 12th and 13th posts from the top of this thread.

pat,

How are the smoke units?

Are they better than what Williams used to have?

They used to be kind of wimpy.

The smoke units are suethe type units. We have been running these with our P&P Smoke fluid and the smoke output is pretty good but not the level of a fan driven unit. I think these units smoke really well.

Thanks

The glossy paint is a turn off.  A throwback to the old days under Jerry Williams, it seems.

My C&O loco is semi gloss at best......a nice low sheen typical of many locos of the era. If it was too glossy I'd cure it with some Testors dull coat in about 2 minutes.

The Circus loco may be high gloss but I don't think it's aimed at die hard hobbyist but more the casual model rail. 

The PRR green (DGLE) sould be about the color of the black/green used on the Reto Belle SD90"s.

Hello, All

Here is some new pictures of the 4-6-0 on our layout.

Thanks

Its a mini O version of their G scale offering, down to the capped stack. Shades of their original "Tweetsie" narrow gauge prototype of long ago..that Bachman later improved upon their original offering with better gearing, going beyond slide valve versions in the first runs ..now used in initial O offerings and using more robust materials. What other G gauge offerings will be shrunk down from their original size? It will be interesting to how Williams \ Bachman develops their products. Outside of the absence of slide valves, it's virtually identical. 

Same thing in G...below
