The P&WV Hi-Line

Sorry I missed you guys at the show. Unfortunately I have to work weekends on the 1:1 scale trains. I did see a photo of the display appeared in the TribLive page, very nice.

Hi Jer, Thanks for the information.

That is neat that the P&WV went with Jeep pickup trucks from AMC and did not choose Ford or Chevy like other roads.

Sadly the link in your reply does no ...

What color did the P&WV paint it's maintenance vehicles? I've seen a black and white photo of what appears to be a Willy's Hi-Rail Jeep, but it's hard to determine the color of the vehicle? I'm al ...

[quote="jayrod"]Whatever happened to this announcement. I assume it was cancelled as I can not find any reference to it on their website.[/quote]

Hi Eric, I believe these things sold like hot cakes ...

Hi Eric, Have you heard any updates on this fire? I heard it was in the car shop portion of the building. Have repairs been made and is the building back in operation?

The Station look great, two thumbs up.

As a follow up, I contacted Rapido trains about a possible N scale version of the HO scale H16-44. Their response was, if the HO sales well they will consider an N scale version.

I need all of y ...

Great job guys, the models and photographs look great (two thumbs up)

Hi Eric, Yes, 3-D printing seems to be where the hobby is headed. But even 3-D printing is expensive when you consider all you're getting is an unpainted body shell.

I've seen posts from some of ...

I'm sorry, but at $109 dollars have they lost their minds. Prices of new products are pushing the average person right out of this hobby.

Well, at least I can say I already own the 832 (N&W 500832) in N scale LOL. I know it's a small consolation to owning the real thing, very small LOL.

Hi Eric,
I wish I could attend, but unfortunately Saturdays are my Mondays and with everything that's going on at work, I'm not sure they'd give me the time off. Not sure if you've heard, but t ...

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 ...

Hi Eric, Wishing you and all the members of the Hi-Line a Safe and Happy New Year.

Hi Eric, This all boils down to, where's your good enough line. Until a manufacturer makes an exact model, this is going to be a good enough stand in for me. My N scale rule is, if it looks like a rea ...

Hi Eric,
Does the H16-44 and H20-44 share the same frame length? I was thinking the H20-44 was shorter than the H16-44? I believe that is why someone on one of the model railroad forums I follow, men ...

Hi Eric and group,
We are getting closer to an N scale H20-44. CMR / Puttman Locomotive Works has released an N scale H20-44 shell.

I don't think NS has any interest in going after PW but you never know. That's time & money better spent elsewhere and since P&WV's original debt had been paid off, the whole thing is now rea ...

PWV/Power REIT lost all their appeals in Aug 2017. I kinda figured they would. Is that finally the end or has anyone heard anything new?

Also part of the decision was that Power REIT committed frau ...

[quote="jayrod"]When the N&W proposal to ICC was put together to acquire NKP & Wabash in 1961, P&WV wasn't even considered.[/quote]

Hi Eric, According to the P&WV Railway book, I do ...

Never saw it in writing, but, simply put, I surmise that N&W didn't really want the P&WV as it would effectively be a stub end branch without a large amount of traffic to add to the entire sys ...

In 1964, the N&W purchased the Wabash and the NKP but only leased the
P&WV, does anyone know what the reason was behind this decision?
Why didn't the N&W also purchase the P&WV?

Hi Eric, A drawing that can be used by Shapeways for 3D printing is the way
to go. I've seen a video where the guy used Google Sketchup to create this
type of drawing. The plus side of using a draw ...

Update - I've slogged my way through all WPT, P&WV, C'Ville Extension and all the branches except WSB starting 1904 through 1935. Should be able to complete it soon. Info for each point is accurat ...

Very good news for us N scalers :-) I have several of their hopper cars and a couple of their transfer cabooses and have not been disappointed with any of their products. Since I'm on their mailing l ...
