PRR J1 getting up to speed.

Nice, haven't got that one yet. But it's on the list

 

[PBY357]

The J1 is probably my favorite for freight, until the Hippo is released, and for Passenger service, I'd like the G5's which probably aren't to far away.
Progress on the Rails: I'm constructing a steam locomotive service area with a round house. The adjacent freight yard will eventually include a passenger yard, and back on the other side, there will be a repair shop.

Don't pay attention to the large amount of unfinished world in the background.

When train speeds were low (in the 1850's to 1900's) it must have taken forever to get from one place to another ... I graded my Muleshoe Curve line (from Petersburg, via Holidaysburg, to Tunnelhill and Cresson ... with water stops, and station stops, at 30mph, it took @ 2 hours.

I suppose that most branch lines and secondary mainlines only got up to 40mph or 50mph at the most, as trackage was precarious at higher speeds ?

I like to drive at 20mph, or slower, as in switching, and on branch lines, this is considered the highest speed allowed by law, from 1850 to present ?

In the canal period it took several days to get from Phila to Holidaysburg by barge ... a 2 week trip to get all the way St Louis :hehe:

In the days of steam, speeds were dictated by grades, curves and the weight of cars in of that train. And the need to water every 60 to 100 miles. I know that the PRR was in a continuing war for water {as steam being called water burners for good reason}. And to where to make water and coal stops. But low speeds were also because of the lack of good signals and communications of the time, and the need of large crews to operate brakes to control a train. With all of this working against crews, I'm amazed they got over 20 mph before 1900. But the engines could and were designed to do much faster speeds. I like slow and hard steam pulling freight or passenger on steep grades. And in trains I don't have to reach in tunnels to fetch derailed cars.

Are those the F7 from Trainz Forge Railwoodman? If so I have yet to figure out what JR F7 packs are required.

 

[Railwoodman]

Yes they are, and they have a lot of different and very nice skins. Highly recommended.

I found everything for the Pennsy F7's except this <kuid:156765:1827> can you tell me what it is?
