In response to some of the PC "bashing"... I was too young to remember the glory years of the NH , PRR, or NYC. My earliest experience of all three were in the 60's when the NH was already bankrupt and NYC/PRR were in dire straits..and it showed!! Somehow I got to love all three and when they became one, I no longer had to choose. I had one favorite. As a child, It was a Penn Central engineer who gave me a cab ride up the Hudson in a PC E-8, a PC yard crew in former NH territory that showed me how they shoved hunks of wood under the rails to keep their RS-3 on the tracks. I in turn showed off my new HO scale PC boxcar I had just purchased with allowance money. Crews always seemed friendly towards a kid with an interest in the railroad. This is why I found fascination with the PC and model it today. I don't care what happened or who was to blame. That is for the history books. I just want to model PC as I remember it....well maybe a little cleaner!! Most of us have a favorite road that has been gobbled up in a mega merger and it may be fun to bash successors for a number of reasons, but that is what is great about model railroading, because we can pick whatever road and time period we want. Ken McCorry is doing just that with a super layout!! Rob
