All the keystone articulateds are already made by non-brass manufacturers except for the PRR 0-8-8-0


As for articulateds I do believe only the CC-2 0-8-8-0 and the HC-1 2-8-8-0 were built in house for the Pennsy,all the others were rigid frame duplex locomotives.

Hmmmmmm.....what could we do that has a Keystone on it?.... ;D



Heehee yah an S1 for Bachmann. Minimum radius = 60"  ;)

Freak-

This isn't an artic. It's a rigid-frame duplex with doubled cylinders, each set driving two axles.

I can see BLI or MTH making that one. Theres a good chance it will happen. MTH made one in O scale, so its likely that an HO one will eventually be made.

You can bet, if MTHs makes a HO scale model it will not have a rigid frame.

Lol true statement. Will probably be optional like they had with the 4-12-2.

However if BLI makes one, it probably will have a rigid frame.

Anyways; getting back to the intent of the original post:

Yardmaster:  Would you be able to pass on the ideas to Mr Bachmann? Or whoever does engine design? Would love to see more types of Yellow Stones.

Bucksco

Don't worry the Bach man reads the forum everyday.

BTW....The PRR was the largest railroad by traffic and revenue in the U.S. for the first half of the twentieth century and was at one time the largest publicly traded corporation in the world

ryeguyisme

yes but I believe, the D&RGW and the Norfolk and Western RR had the most articulateds
