Jun 18, 2021 · Hands-down, I'd use the Bachmann. You are going to have to make massive cosmetic changes either way to make this look like a PRR B6 (valve gear, firebox, cab, rods, domes are pretty much all wrong). But at least the Bachmann engine has fine-flanged drivers and a much smoother mechanism with finer gears than the old Rapido one.

Mar 21, 2021 · I went through Hochessin, DE where the PRR B6 #60 has been sitting for about the past 20 years if not longer in the same spot. When i looked over the I noticed she was gone. I know she is a rusting wreck and would need a tremendous amount of work just to make her look presentable anywhere to the public eye.

Feb 2, 2020 · Steal the cab from a Minitrx B6sb. It's a dead ringer, if not to use it, then to measure it. That whole loco screams the entire B6 shell. Nice and heavy for weight over the drivers. I actually have a filled in version of the shell- an all solid casting that you can have for the shipping.

Thanks, Max. I appreciate that. Jim Hale Trying to re-create a part of south-central Pennsylvania in 1956, one small bit at a time.

May 3, 2017 · Max, your video looks a lot like the original one that I shot of the PRR B6. Microscopic bits of metal got picked up by the traction tire, and I could not wash them off. I wasn't careful enough about controlling this byproduct of the Dremel work, and it got into everything; a few bits even got into the paint on the boiler.

Feb 4, 2020 · I agree the B6 cab is close... I'm looking at what it would do if you cut the front wall off and shortened it to the proper length between the front window and the cab wall, maybe filed the rear windows larger. It's just plastic. And that boiler just looks fat to me.
