Actually yes I did.....When I was typing....
Must say tho, those are some interesting conversions for the GG-1! I'm surprised they didn't do a 4-8-8-4 version in those to be honest....A super GG-2!

Some more PRR ideas, from Raymond Loewy himself.



I really like the propeller commuter car. Hmm, I see another Tyco kitbash in my future. Did Tyco ever make a propeller though?

No, Tyco never made anything with a prop. I say use one from a plastic airplane kit.

The Pennsy should have built the steam version pictured. That would have been one nice looking streamlined locomotive!

Those are some very interesting concepts.
Blane is the name, Trains are the game.

The Germans made a real prop-driven train in the Hitler? era, the Zeppelin. Marklin has a copy of it in HO, I want one, but they're expensive as all get-out. You can buy a new one now for $300 or so. One of my club members has one, it's a real attention-getter at train shows, because it really "flys".
