HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000 - TonyC - 05-02-2025
Hello,
I picked up some nice HO trains at an estate sale today and I'm not familiar with one of the brands. I have a HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000 engine. I haven't been able to find any images or information on this. Is it from the 1950's or much more recent? And what is the approximate value of this engine?
Thanks!

I remember HObbyline as being late 50s--early 60s.
But I may be confusing it with Hobbytown. The one I'm thinkin of made some early plastic kits incuding a dockside.

Welcome aboard Tony
Hobbyline was a manufacturer in the 50's.
Feel free to join in around the hobo campfire.
