The P&WV Hi-Line

Sadly, it's not surprising that Athearn did that given how they seem to alienate their own customers by ignoring feedback from them when there's a mistake or not taking up offers from such individuals ...

I'm already committed to at least one N&W H-16-44 (tempting to get a VGN one but honestly not sure how much I'd use it compared to the latter). If a P&WV H-16-44 is done, I'll probably look in ...

Hello

I know this announcement doesn't specifically feature a P&WV-painted locomotive, but the P&WV did have a few H-16-44s.

Here's a link to the announcement and models: https://rapidot ...

Hello fellow Hi-Line members

Not sure if it's widely known yet or not, but Athearn just announced an ICC caboose in the style of those had by P&WV. Surprisingly, P&WV is one of the road nam ...

How much did you pay for your copy of the high and dry? I'm looking at getting a copy of that book myself but am not sure what is considered fair market value for this item (current prices I see seem ...

Did a quick eBay search for P&WV items and came across this custom-built H-20-44 with DCC & Sound in HO scale. Looks interesting and thought other members may be interested in it

Is the crane a Walthers model? I have an undecorated kit crane that looks like this and may just need to become part of the P&WV maintenance fleet

While doing an e-Bay search for an Alco Models FM H-20-44, I noticed that CMR Products now sells a polyurethane shell for such an engine in HO scale. Unfortunately, this is from the same company that ...

I know this might be a costly idea (and thus possibly infeasible), but what about doing a 3-D Laser Scan of one of the three remaining prototype engines and then using that scan to create the appropri ...

My apologizes for not responding here sooner as I had forgotten to check for post replies and updates.

Thank you for the additional prototype information as my knowledge of the P&WV is still ...

I'm definitely willing to let other people participate in upgrading this map with more detailed information as I feel this could be a very useful resource for others in this community. The USGS topogr ...

The era I model for my prototype-based freelanced railroad, known as the Virginian & Appalachian railway, is the early 70s. However, the map I produced is not reflective of the lines in existence ...

Hello

While doing the system map for my prototype-based freelanced railroad, which has the W&LE and P&WV as subsidiaries, I decided to do a system map for the original W&LE as well as t ...

What model and make of 5-chime horn did the P&WV use? I was wondering if a shell for an H-20-44 could be drawn up using a CAD program and then produced through 3D printing. Depending on how in dep ...

I couldn't figure out how to get the photo posted before but I've fixed the problem now

Hello

While doing paint schemes for my own freelanced railroad lately, I decided to do up an interpretive paint scheme for what the P&WV GP-35 #101 might have looked like if it had been deliver ...

I was looking at his list of books on Amazon and was wondering how good his books are both in content and supporting photographic evidence. Any reviews or comments?

Hopefully plans for the H20-44 model go through as that's an engine I need to show the P&WV influence on my freelanced railroad. Plus they're such cool locomotives it would be a shame to not see ...

Glad to know I'm not the only one modeling this lesser known but very interesting railroad. Smaller railroads like the P&WV are a bit more friendly to modelers as there's less need for compression ...

Indeed that's quite a score. Not too long ago I came across that same file while browsing through the N&W historical society website and through it's archives it had online. I didn't think much of ...

As a new member to the forum with a recent interest in the P&WV and a model railroader, I thought an introduction of my railroad concept would be useful.

The idea behind my railway is that the ...

I plan to use the FM #70 scheme for most second generation units but for units built closer to the 70s, I plan to simplify the scheme to reflect the trend of railroads in the region at that time.

During a recent internet search for information on how to possibly kitbash an H20-44 for HO scale, I came across an interesting forum posting or two on the AC&Y historical society website.

Here ...

Even without the red stripe the simplified paint scheme is nice yet simple. Maybe some modeler's license could be used to add some red striping around the front hood stripe, but I may have to debate d ...

Thanks for the quick and informative responses you've given me on this subject. I had no idea that the P&WV did a repaint of one of an H20-44 just a month before the merger. That photo is rare and ...
