[PRR-talk] PLB85R

Tue May 13 09:36:24 EDT 2008

Fred R asked about the PLB85R.  Not listed in the Liljestrand and Sweetland books.  No info in Jerry Brittons class listing.  Jerry's 24 hours at Harrisburg (from makeup of trains etc.) lists PLB85Rs in the consist of the "Spirit of St. Louis" with a note numbers 6695 to 6699.  I am trying to find my makeup of trains to confirm.

  PRR Friends:

                    Five of us are taking a day trip out to Altoona this Thursday, May 15th to start our Annual Pennsy Convention, spend the day in Altoona and then head to Harrisburg Thursday evening.  Does anyone have a contact person, e-mail or phone number I can call to arrange to see the Altoona Area Model Railroad Club Layout on Thursday sometime?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

                                                                                                              Thanks, 

                                                                                                              Gus Minardi

totally uncalled for, and showed very poor taste.

PRR-talk requires posters to be subscribers to the list in order to 
post, which all but eliminates SPAM. That said, the remaining traffic 
is not moderated, in order to expedite processing.

Unfortunately, some folks receive these types of emails and think 
it's "cute" to resend it to everyone in their address book, without 
thinking about the list addresses that might be included.

The perpetrator in this instance has been placed on individual 
moderate status.

I apologize that the post went across this fine list.

  Gold Medal Models (www.goldmm.com) has an N scale passenger car details etched brass set for Kato smoothside passenger cars.  The set includes antenna mounts for the observation car (different car than the PRR View obs, but both are Pullman products).  I don't know if they make this set in HO.

    Hi Bob:

    What are you going to use for the antenna stantions? It appears that these stantions and antenna railing are smaller than those used on the locomotives.

    I am planning to install the antenna on my HO scale Rivarossi Tower View car. I came across an N-scale detail part for an PRR Antenna PRR Locos (see attached path). It is made by JNJ Trains part number 344-0555. It may not be a perfect match as far as accuracy goes but it does provide the smaller size for that these antennas.

Ok, I dont understand the Pennsylvania Lines and PRR connection. I know there is one but I dont understand it. Anyhow I have this picture of my great grandpa I have had many family members work for the RR's and I hope to continue it on after i get out of high school (I'm a freshman). Here is the picture.

View full size

My great grandpa is the dirty one the one second from the left. I would like to know some info about this engine. Where it was serving at if possible. If anyone knows any one else in this picture. And what is the PRR and Pennsylvania lines connection between the two. Because I dont like to flood with a bunch of different emails of different questions I would also like info on 
PRR Alco S3 # 8878
PRR EMD F3A Phase 2 # 9501
PRR EMD SD7 # 8589
PRR J1 2-10-4 # 6165
Thanks guys hope this isnt to much, Thanks Mike
