If You Like The PRR Then You'll Like This

Even older tom

I'm sorry, I've tried, I've really tried...

but I can't get emotional when I see a diesel (even the Deltic which I used to watch thundering through Edge Hill). But, show me a steam loco (from the smallest to the largest, from UK, USA or the rest of the world) and it's a different story.

I wonder what gives us our psychological make up?

You have to have been there I guess. This one reminds me of sitting on the front step on a hot summers evening with an ice cold tinny, (amongst other very nice things).

Yes, you are right Pol, you had to be there to see and feel all that went on.
Deltic was just an engine that rumbled through with a train behind it, whereas a double headed express with all the smoke and noise was much more to behold when you are 9 years old.
I guess that's why I'm a steam freak.

I found a close up of the nose of an E8. Very difficult to find vids if people don't put the exact name of what you're looking for in the title.

Rail-pictures.net also has a lot to offer for PRR 5711 and 5809:

I never noticed that there was a button on railpictures.net for videos. Must be getting really old.

Hi Erhard,

Excellent references saved them to my pictures

Many thanks ..... how the module coming on and anymore pictures of it ?

You're welcome Nick!
Progress on the module is a bit slow since I spend most of my time tinkering with my new website. I plan a relaunch of my site and want to make it a bit more comfortable to use and at the same time modernize it a bit. Javascript was banned from the site and so it is completely database-driven using only PHP and CSS. So far, the whole thing is stuffed into a test environment and undergoes some rigorous testing and at the same gets new content added.

In addition, I received a nice little set of tools I ordered a month ago from Fast Tracks and now I practise turnout (point) - building in code 40 N-scale...
Must've gone crazy these days

Hi Erhard,

Look forward to more progress on the module

inform us when the site is completed and up and running ...... making turnouts ? now thats dedication

Wish my Deltic ran as smoothly!

Cracking videos. I can watch diesels for ever.
