Doyle (McCormick) has the PA in Seatlle or Portland.. I always forget...  Portland I THINK...  he keeps it with the 4449 ... the PA (and Doyle) is doing fine...   he had to retube the 4449 so that took priority over past 2 years...

the PA made it down to Spencer a few years ago.... that was hottttttt

and the cool thing is there are enough NKP passenger cars around that we could create a prototypical consist if he ever brought it back east...

the plan was to have it in Cleveland for the convention in a few weeks... but that plan fell apart as fast as it was brought up

nevertheless...  the PA project is alive.. I just don't know the current state.... he's got a nice shop out West... open to the public I believe, for a donation of course.

p.s. the F unit is sweet...  I got a pic of it coming out of the paint shop a few years ago.... they ran State Fair trips with it...     I always wanted to do up a model of it...  and have people tell me it wasn't right :)
