Bowser has released three series of HO scale kits of interest to the Pennsy modeler.

The kits include the 70-ton triple hopper...

In support of the newly announced PRR Pro project, I have uploaded 120 photos of Denholm and Thorndale to Keystone Crossings…

There is some near duplication as the photos came from multiple sources, including a collection of Joe Henry Kline (1950s) photos that I purchased years ago.

I know that I have some more to scan… if I can find them!

The PRR Pro group has adopted its next project: coaling facilities.

After the closest run-off vote in the group's history, coaling facilities narrowly edged out B60 series baggage cars, which will be the next project (to start in January 2014).

PRR Pro is a group is designed to allow modelers who are building specific Pennsylvania Railroad related projects to share ideas, techniques and the finished models. Every few months we will select a new project to pursue as a group. Only PRR projects will be considered. Projects may include rolling stock (freight or passenger), buildings or other PRR related items.

All scales are welcome to participate!

There's a new poll posted on Keystone Crossings...

Last month we asked

Given the organizational structure of the 1951-1955 transitional era, what was your favorite operational division?

You can find the results at http://pennsyrr.com/polls/polls .

This month we ask

Model Railroad Stoneworks closed a few years ago. If their molds were engaged for a rerun of the HO scale Rockville Bridge -- four arches at the original price of $300 -- would you be interested?

We'd like to hear from you. You must login to vote. Visit http://pennsyrr.com .

I have posted two employee timetables to Keystone Crossings...

A 1953 employee timetable from the New York & Long Branch, which was co-operated by the Pennsy; and

A 1943 employee timetable from the Middle Division.

Enjoy!
