Hey guys,I'm new here to the site and it looks pretty nice,kinda a little slow,but that might be normal.
I'm trying to learn just about everything I can about Pennsylvania Rail Road.
I know enough to know what engines are what,and I'm trying to figure what Locomotive I want to build,The K-4 seems pretty popular,and I'm thinking that might make it easier to find information about it,but I think I might want to build a M1...just not too sure!
If anyone knows of any books or anything I need to get,or online information that would be great,I'm located in Idaho,so that puts me a LONG ways from any prototypes.
I was not around when steam was used so I've got no memories to work from either.
Wanting to model in 7.5 gauge,as there is a fairly big track not too far away.
Anything anyone could contribute would be appreciated!
There are a few smaller locos around here,there is a 90ton heisler,and a 10 wheeler,I think Baldwin,built in 1906 if I remember right,I can get pictures of them if anyone needs me too,they are where I can pretty much take a picture from any angle (no problem with climbing on them)
Thanks All
Brian
