Pre War Lionel 3 Rail Pennsylvania Railroad "Torpedo" (238E) With Passenger Cars
It's been a while but I'm running my Pre War built Lionel Torpedo engine again. This was the one that a gentleman donated before he and his family had to move out of state.
We don't know how long it sat for but it still runs like a champ with all of its original inner workings.
We bought time period correct coaches for it to really give it the look it so rightful deservers.
This version of the Engine is the 238E with the Sound tender and yes the sound still works after 87 years.
It's so much fun running engines from an era so far gone but yet can still be experienced through stuff like this from that era.
Hope you all enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

    I still can't believe that the DM&IR yellowstones, which are 2-8-8-4s and specifically made to pull trains like this, are still less powerful then the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenys of the C&O in terms of Horsepower, the yellowstones have around 6000 HP while the Alleghenys have almost 7500 HP, also is that yellowstones motor ok or is it used to this?

      While I don't have exact dimensions given that the Allegheny has a 6 wheel trailing truck I suspect that it's firebox is much larger. But horsepower doesn't really matter as tractive effort is a lot more important than horsepower itself when it comes to locomotives. The Yellowstone from what I can tell had more tractive effort than an Allegheny and could on paper haul more than the Allegheny despite having less horsepower produced. I mean heck the PRR Q2 Duplex produced somewhere around 8000 horsepower and really didn't pull much more than their 2-10-4 as an example though it did have much bigger drivers to

    In my humble opinion, the streamliners were the pinnacle of the steam era. My dad saw the Yankee clipper when it was still in service, and I saw it as a boy at eataville railroad museum in mass. Those trains were beautiful! I believe that the clipper was diesel. They had graceful lines and had, at the time, all the power in the world. I'd love to see one blast down the tracks today!

    • @PennsyPappas

      Essentially it was really, the streamliner era went into the 40s and the Pinnacle of steam technology was building during these years. Shortly there after it was the transition era and the streamers were gone but whether it be steam or diesels from that time the era for flashy decorative trains ended during this time and slowly got simplied till it was no more. It's cool you and your dad remembered something so special from that time as it's something precious to cherish for your whole life.

    Very nice, well there's something I don't understand, I've seen most videos and pictures the F7 hudson pulled passenger cars including the observation car that is beaver tail, why couldn't anybody have the F7 hudson pull the Skytop Lounge and the observation car (like Cedar rapids that was used by 261)? The reason I would love to see the F7 Hiawatha hudson used an skytop lounge observation car on the rear, because I was imagine "what if F7 hudson would have been preserved and restored for excursions?" or "what if there will be a new-build F7 hudson (like PRR T1 trust)?".

    • @PennsyPappas
      @PennsyPappas Рік тому

      Well no don't have all the answers but it could've been that either it did happen and there's little to nomproof it did or that it never happened because it's possible that the combined weight of the train at the time was actually too much for a hudson. Hence why the Milwaukee S class engines or diesels ended up pulling them. And since none were preserved it will never happen sadly not to memtion most mainline steam engines have to be at least a 4-8-4 it seems to be running to make it worthwhile to get them running. It would certainly be cool and could be done in modeling form for sure. Which yeah it's not the real thing but it's close enough and that's all that matters I think.

    God I love these northern challengers. You oughtta put the ne soundtraxx bluenami system in her, it'd make her even better!

      We could though we've never really put sound in ourselves before. We're usually happy with the sound that comes with an engine. Plus what's nice about this sound is that its not too loud, which in a building like that full of people tends to be better. Especially since not everyone likes the louder sound. But thank you for the suggestion we'll keep it in mind.

    Beautiful trains, and that paddle boat looked amazing.

      That paddle wheel actually works to, we bus don't use it as often because if it ever broke it wouldn't be super easy to fix. So it's used on specific occasions but it's fun to watch it turn. I'm glad you enjoyed the trains, most of the ones running were my own personal ones.

      That was a unique loco for sure. Designed in Ft Wayne for the PY&A branch hauling ore south from Asthtabula,OH to Warren, Youngstown, OH and Pittsburg, PA and coal back to the lake. True drag freights only capable of about 35mph.

      @PennsyPappas Рік тому

      I do not have 20th century limited. I'm more of a pennsy guy than I am an NYC guy, plus I have yet to see any of the coaches for sale yet. I think I've seen the Dreyfuss Hudson's for sale but without coaches not reply worth getting. I sadly may never get the mercury coaches for my mercury as they seem to be almost unobtanium. Maybe someday I'll get the 20th century limited but for now it alludes me.
