   I haven’t decided what my next loco will be (aside from it being steam, of course). Currently I’m torn between a 6 or 7 wide version of the Blue Mountain & Reading #425 pacific class (4-6-2), which would be a very similar build to my TSRR #500 but making use of the new blue BBB wheels, or a dark bley, 8-wide version of the PRR T-1 duplex locomotives (4-4-4-4).

The gray color that T-1s exhibit in many photos is from accumulated dirt and grime. The T-1 came very late in the steam era and didn’t always get the maintenance attention it deserved.

Pennsy equipment colors

(...) Thanks much! I really don't think I deserve a discount, but I have to admit my wife would appreciate it, what with all the wheels I've bought :) Plus it seems like every week I find some new design I'd love to tinker with (much to my wife's (...)
