Who's Modeling the Pennsy?

As a refugee of the A-board, wondering who all here is modeling the Pennsylvania Railroad?

How 'bout posting your scale, era modeled, locale (or freelance) modeled, a reference photo, and link to your layout's web site, if you have one.

I am modeling the PRR Middle Division in HO scale during the early 1950s. In addition to the main line running through Lewistown, I am modeling the Lewistown Seconday and the Milroy Secondary. Currently in the benchwork/track stage, so not a lot of photos.

Here is my blog... http://jbritton.pennsyrr.com

I previously modeled a fictional Pennsy branch (Schuylkill Division) in N Scale.

I have currently started a model of the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines in Westville & Woodbury, NJ (1950s).

So I at least qualify as a step-child!

Lee doesn't.  He's got a truckload of Jerry's track.   :D

Okay, I checked, rechecked, and triple checked, and this is the HO forum, right?

Seems all sorts of my cohorts are appearing from my N scale days!

Dave, Doug, Bob... I have kept following Railwire N on Sundays. Excellent modeling work!

Humm, sure is.  Didn't even notice that.  You know us SPF, we see PRR and just gotta answer.

Must resist . . . . overwhelming desire to post a wise-alec answer (involving "tiers" -).   :D

Have to say I very, very, very seriously considered the PRR Eastern Shore line (Cape Charles, Va.) as a potential theme for my recent layout, but the investment in Central Vermont brass kept me in New England for now . . .

Damn! That would've been awesome. I love seeing under-done, or un-done stuff like that.

And think about it this way, you could've just traded in all your CV brass for brass D16s... If you ever needed one to study up close, it's a short trip to Strasburg.

What can we say, you reached model railroad meme infamy! That reminds me, time to make an exploitable.

"Standard Railroad of the Second Tier"? lol...
