Wow! Awesome! Thanks for putting this out there. Dude, "You're scratching me right where I itch." - Krammer, from Seinfield.  :D Can't wait to crown my 'queen' with this jewel.  ;)  Any idea what color the generator was? Maybe that pale green colour?

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

@towl1996 This is the color that Kohs, a famous O Scale brass manufacturer has chosen to paint it.  I can only assume based on their website and proto information they collect, that the color is correct.  I have not seen a color photo.



Looks to be white in this photo- the site states it is a builders photo, so the PRR may have painted the generator white on their own...  But @Ed Kapuscinski 's law prevails...

We need a Muwahahahah emoji. :D

Is the center section removable on the FD2 or is it permanently mounted?

Oh, it's removable all right. It just sticks in with a peg.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger, but new products keep coming out,  :o  :D  so I'm waiting, I'm going to try to bundle a bunch of stuff together to save on shipping.

Can't wait to see how it looks! It's going to be HOT!  :ashat:

@towl1996 PM me offline and I may be able to shed some light on what's may be coming.  It may help your trigger finger. :D
