John has created an exceptionally beautiful homage to Pennsylvania Railroading History. Enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you, Al.

You have really gotten some nice footage of John's layout. Norm Charbonneau just did a video on his MTH H10 Blunami upgrade. I recently picked up one and haven't taken it off the layout since doing so. Great little steamer. Thanks for sharing.

You're correct Al, the Pennsy did run Sharks in A-B-B-A and, although rare, even A-B-B-B on at least one occasion. The limit for the sharks was 4 units per lashup because the air throttles of the Baldwins had a slower response time than the electric throttles of the other diesel manufacturers. Fortunately, there weren't many trains that were heavy enough to require more than 4 of the rugged Baldwins.

Great videos! A die hard Pennsy fan just getting back into the hobby after a 50 year hiatus. Modeling HO for club layout and N for home. Have a couple of the Broadway Limited P5a Box Cabs in N and would be in hog heaven if they ever came out with the streamlined version. Regarding the Sharks, I've seen a number of pictures with them in an ABBA lash up. What I'd love to get my hands on is the BP20 Passenger version which usually ran in an ABA lash up. As far as I know Pennsy was the only one who bought them and they bought 2 A units for every B unit and it was not a super large order. Oh and by the way the Connie isn't just a regular Connie it's the later Super Connie version (the first commercial airliner I ever flew on, AA Philly to Chicago to spend Christmas with my grandparents).
