On rare occasions, its OK when your layout has no back drop

1:1 scale #4465 and #4935 look on as scale versions of themselves operate on our Heavy Electric Modules, during Model Railroad Days at the RR Museum of PA





A few of my models happen to be preserved at the RR museum of PA. Metroliner 860 passes some Silverliners. #860 is the last intact original Metroliner. I will have to get a photo with the prototype tomorrow when I return.



#4756 and #5690 are in fact, one and the same. The museum restored the B1 switcher to its earlier scheme and number, but it was retired in the form shown here. Originally, I had numbered this as #4751, the very last B1 in service, but the model itself better represented 4756, which motivated me to change the number. Still, I suspect I need to change the style of roadnumber entirely for it to be accurate.



I also put Reading MU #800 on display. Its not quite ready yet, but I figured it would be good enough for most people. The decals aren't all the way set. I figured since the real #800 is in the museum, I should count the rivets on the prototype before I permanently apply the decals with solvaset! Indeed, it appears a roadnumber might be slightly crooked.
