Hang in there. You’ll get it, probably in much less time than it has taken me.

Okay, time to get this thread back to life!


Won’t you be my Neighbor? Here’s my version of the Neighborhood Trolley that runs to the Kingdom of Make-Believe from the ‘Mister Rogers Neighborhood’ television show, and also seen in the newer cartoon ‘Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood’ as well.

Show me something that carries passengers - a passenger coach, trolley, monorail, horsecar, whatever!

A pair of kitbashed “shortie” Penn Central MP54s made from 2 old Walthers kits. Despite PC trying their best to repaint their MP54s green (all or nothing), atleast 2 slipped through the cracks and stayed in Pennsylvania tuscan, but were re-lettered. Not sure if these road numbers are correct for those though.

Show me somthing else electric - catenary, trolley wire, or 3rd rail powered, your choice!

The whole tank rotates to move the spout into position. It was the only option to get it to work.

Show me another water tower, or maybe a coaling tower?
