I want to model a pennsy coal branch in HO scale. Are their any useful links on the net that could help me with this topic? The time period I want to model is the late steam era. Right now I am focusing on the following equipment: 2-8-0 and 2-8-2 steam locomotives and 34' two bay 55 ton hoppers. Is this equipment correct for the time frame? One thing I am confused on is the paint on the hoppers. I thought the Pennsy had BCR hoppers but I have been searching for hoppers online and I have noticed some black 2 bay Pennsy hoppers made by Accurail. Did PRR have Black and BCR coal hoppers? Sorry for the length of the email and so many questions but I want start off on the right foot and not waste any money. $$ are a concern [:D] Any help will be greatly appreciated and if their are previous posts on the same topic please direct me to them. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Whit...
