S scale field trip _ Reading T1 comparison
|
Good day everyone,
Myself and another group member, Mike B. spent the day riding in a dome car behind Reading & Northern? T1 # 2102 .
The Winter Ramble ran from the Reading Outer Station to Jim Thorpe and back. Same route as the NASG trip in the RDC's last year.
Our dome car was an ex-Milwaukee Super Dome #55, in very good condition.
All round great trip with the R&N team.

Thanks for sharing those pictures! The Reading T-1 has to be one of the most nicely designed steam locomotives ever built, even without a "name" industrial designer behind it.? Mechanically, of course, the class was an even bigger success. Jim Whipple Glenshaw PA On Sat, Feb 8, 2025 at 10:43?PM Hugh Sinn via <hhsinn=[email protected]> wrote:

I envy you guys who live close enough to see and ride these?trains.? ?One of?my?first steam?sound?records (I might have been 10 or 11) was opened with a few cuts of the Reading?Rambles with the 2100s.? The station at Jim Thorpe is aso a gem.? The station at Tompkins on my layout was semi inspired by it (photo).? Along with many other projects, I hope to finish it this year.? Don, I am not sure how you would send your video, but I would certainly?like to see it! Have fun! Bill Winans ------------------
