Dr/L Col/ Dave....... I dig the coal cars, that always gets me going... British Columbia had trains that ran over a mile of em too.... I loved the mix of cars... was at a Canadian National coal hopper mixed in there ? Which would not have been out of place as both CP and CN used that there "good US coal".....

I will never get used to Belpair fireboxes; they look "weird" to me, CN and CP having never used thme, but they do identify the unit as PRR from a far !

Nice vid; love the holiday for strings stuff in the background..............

Beautiful!
How long did it take you to do the GHQ conversion and how difficult was it?
(I have had one sitting in a box for years.)

Nice Dave.  Looked like a Reading car in there with the rest being PRR.

Check out some old PRR videos and you'll see a lot of B&O, WM, Reading and N&W cars in their coal trains.

Thanks!

48, sorry to read about your flood...  That really sucks.  I hope you can recover from that.

Pud, sorry, no Canadian equipment in this train.  All hoppers in this train are PRR except for Reading, Lehigh Valley, New York Central, and Berwind-White Coal Co. (a mining company with close ties to PRR).

Rick, I built that GHQ kit many years ago...  It was tough from the standpoint of my just having switched to N scale and not used to working with tiny metal and brass parts.  It wasn't impossible, though.  It took me a few months' worth of evenings.

The music, as in my previous K4 video, consists of selections from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Now that is severely hot. I've still got one of those L1 kits laying around. I just can't seem to work up the courage to get it going.

Gotta do it!  I know the bug bit with your re-worked Minitrix K4.  The call of PRR steam-era ops is hard to ignore!

There are some great vintage Pennsy steam clips on YouTube, and you just have to wonder if bringing some of these machines to N-scale would create a whole market in itself.  Just fantastic stuff...

Here's a neat one:

I'll expect Dave's next video to have a train with a Soo Line box car, a GN box car, an NP flat and two Northwestern Reefers.  ;)

And what was that. A pickle tanks car, or were those vinegar tanks?

I don't know, but now I'm starting to wonder if those girafe transporters were real too...

That video is really awesome.  Finding that on YouTube is part of what drove me to want to re-invest in getting that brass K4 back to operating.  I never realized how much passenger traffic you could see during the day (although most daytime traffic would be local, coach-class).  Lots of mail trains too.

Hard to watch that video and not at least appreciate Pennsy's scale.
