[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jesionowski Except on the PRR, they used a left hand lead, and BLI did this incorrectly on their PRR models. Also if a Three Cylinder Engine is modeled the crankpins are offset by I think 60 degrees to account for the third cylinder. Rick [/quote] I inserted almost the same thing as you, before I read the rest of the comments. Do you know of the other road that might have used a left lead? It would be a road that built their own of course, since all of the major builders did use the right hand lead as standard. Sorry about the duplication. You are correct about the 3 cylinder engines having 60 degree cranks. Three of the 3 cylinder engines are preserved.
