Looked like warminster R2 area. My father worked for both the reading and Conrail based out of race street tower from 47'-82' as a signal maintainer. Many great memories living with the train behind the house in hatboro many years ago! Great video

In the second scene, we stopped to protect Lower Mountain Road, but when the flagman got off the engine, he stepped into a bees nest and was stung. He came back to the train where my mom (Joan) treated him with some first aid, lots of stings. My dad, (Bill Houser) was trying to tell (Bob Rule, shooting video) to look out for them. In the third scene, at Lahaska, the frog in the south switch of the runaround was cracked, so there was 5mph restriction over it, hense going slow and watching out.

So back in the 80s, Strasburg trains were much faster?

After seeing these locomotives in the museum and then this, it’s a shame they’ll most likely never see the rails under their own power again. Honestly if I won the lottery I would gladly donate more than half of it to both the PRR Museum and Strausburg to make it happen. Since 7002 (actually 8063) and 1223 are more than fast enough to pull such a train down the mainline. If given enough room to get up to speed. Imagine you’re in Philadelphia driving to the airport or whatever and you see a double header steam train heading the same way. Though I think 460 and 7002 are more suited to mainline excursions because of the sheer speeds they can achieve since the E6 and E2 classes were known to go over 100MPH easily. Either way the locomotives will always be a part of history for the PRR and will always be part of Strausburg. Maybe one day we’ll see these two under steam again to join the plausible growing Strausburg fleet.

How do I run the engine without rails? Do I need to hook up alligator clips from my track connections? I'm still new to the hobby & need some guidance
@AlvisHerren Жыл бұрын
Alligator clips to the wheels that pickup current will do the trick. You can connect the clips to the tender wheels, drawbar, frame, or other places where there is bare metal.
