After purchasing the Kato PRR GG1 and Broadway Limited 10-car set (read here), I found myself really wanting the option add-on Santa Fe car they released to compliment the Broadway Limited consist. This Santa Fe sleeper, the Regal Spa, was pulled as part of the Limited to Chicago after 1946. Read the rest of this entry »

Just a quick post, more for me than most of my readers.
My wife and I went to dinner this evening at her aunt and uncle’s house. Her uncle Hue models the Pennsy in O gauge — with a really impressively sized layout for O — but he used to do N scale.
Surprisingly, Hue had a Hooker Chemical tank car waiting for me next to my dinner plate knowing that I model N scale. He generously gave me this neat little tank car and it will be a nice addition to my roster. Thanks, Uncle Hue!

After posting the photos of the N scale Kato GG1, I remembered I had this photo of me standing in front of the prototype at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Surprisingly, it’s the same road number as the Kato model. Nice!
I have several other photos of the prototype including some close-up details and some looking in through the windows. I don’t recall where I’ve saved them — probably on my other computer — but I’ll post them as soon as I can find them.
