Fun is riding the Scenic Vista Dome North Coast Limited!

Here they come, Cannonball Freight Service, and a Covered Hopper instead of a box car.

Let's stick with the slogans again!

Unfortunately, this car never got finished. I decalled it on a business trip, then left the box inside the parked car in the Florida sunshine. It warped beyond repair.

Not the Broadway Limited but an unnamed secondary day train which is a joint operation between the Pennsy and the NYBW.

This is an Oriental Powerhouse USRA Pacific that I forgot I owned. It was "discovered" while cleaning a couple of years ago.

It is not undecorated, but it is pretty close to it.

Please show me another steam locomotive with six driving wheels.

I didn't even know what was meant by a six-coupled loco until Kevin posted this.

Here's the latest addition to my roster, a late Christmas present to myself. It's a Bachmann Spectrum Pennsy K4. I've quickly fallen in love with it. It has a WOW Sound decoder and runs smoothly through the entire speed range. Best of all, it has a factory Keep Alive, the first of my locos to have that. I bought two Keep Alives about five years ago but I've been unable to find anybody who knows where to attach them to my early BLI locos with QSI decoders so they remain on the shelf.

Let's move up to 8 driver steamers, please.

While not quite a PRR design, these Js do have a brutish look:

Now for a Pennsy Design 10 Coupled Locomotive, the giant N1s 2-10-2.

Lets try for an articulated or compound engine!

Wearing Pennsy colors but again, not a PRR design. More like a white elephant.

 PRR_HH1 by Edmund, on Flickr

The PRR wasn't a big articulated user but wound up with these second-hand Y-3s from the N&W (PRR influenced) and classed them HH1s. They ran out their last days in the Columbus, Ohio area.

More articulateds, simple or compound, please.
