PRR Operations In O-Gauge EPIC Model Train Video HD

This video features several O-gauge steam and diesel locomotives heading-up realistic passenger and freight trains which were operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad during the 1940's and on through the1950's.
Watch as these well detailed models ride the hi-rail on the Silver Rail Club's fun and interesting layout.
We lead off with the PRR's MASSIVE S2 turbine pulling an 'Express Reefer' and a set of streamlined passenger cars from its 'fleet of modernism'. Lots of steam pours out from the quad-stacks of this custom-made Lionel scale locomotive, complete with smoke deflectors. Its tender is also massive, featuring a real coal load and fine detailing. The Express boxcar and passenger set are made by K-Line and look extra sharp with realistic detailing and full interiors with passengers seated on board. Be sure to notice the hand-off from steam to diesel motive power as the passenger train gets lashed up to a pair of PRR Alcos midway through the video.
Freight consists are being handled by PRR's K-4 Pacific steam and F7 A-B-A diesel sets, both made by K-Line. The heavy freight at the end of the video is being pulled by a well detailed Lionel M1a. Its sound package is incredible!
There's also a special appearance of the futuristic GM Aerotrain which was designed and built by General Motors then tested on the tracks of several railroads in the US, which included NYC, UP, Santa Fe, and PRR, before being sold to the Rock Island, which used them in commuter service until they were retired. Now placed in museums, they are icons of post-modernism.

Nice PRR collection.

Thank you, it's been several years in the making - literally. I wanted a version of the S2 that had smoke deflectors, and was able to purchase and modify a NOS shell from a Lionel parts distributor to fit on my older Lionel model. I had to add the sleuth units in the quad stacks, and trick out the reversing wire and tether, but it all came out well and works nicely as it should. The Aerotrain has some added cars rebadged by me using Photoshop to make the extra PRR logos, and some of the freight cars are custom made also. It's a real fun hobby that I've enjoyed for years. Thanks for watching and posting your comment. Please share my video with those you know. PJM
