Pensyvania Railroad

Being that I was born in PA I am drawn to the state.  I have always been in awe of steam engines and coupled with my ties to PA I fell in love with this steam engine.  I like the 4-4-0 engines.  My father owns an HO engine he bought as a kid called The General.  Let's just say it inspires me. 

So I have my PA line engine and so I had to get some rolling stock to go with it.  We were in Strasburg and stopped at a train shop.  I probably could have bought them anywhere, but being there and seeing exactly what I wanted I had to get them.  I think the passenger cars color looks awesome with the black engine.

Then to finish it off I got a PA Railroad caboose.  Doesn't look the greatest because the color is off a bit, but I can't have a train without a caboose.












Of course when I took my engine out some of the wheels popped off.  So I'm already going to have to delve into the world of engine repair.  I don't really know what I'm doing but it should be fun.
