  HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000
Posted by: TonyC - 05-02-2025, 03:27 PM - Forum: Upper Berth - Replies (8)

Hello, 

I picked up some nice HO trains at an estate sale today and I'm not familiar with one of the brands.  I have a HobbyLine Pennsylvania #1000 engine.  I haven't been able to find any images or information on this.  Is it from the 1950's or much more recent?  And what is the approximate value of this engine? 

   

Thanks!

  Lehigh Valley Decals
Posted by: Charlie B - 04-25-2025, 11:24 AM - Forum: Engineer's Technical Workshop - Replies (7)

I am in need of decals for Lehigh Valley locomotives that have the white flag. Everything I have come up with has red flags which were not on their red units.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I ordered a set for LV cabooses that does have white flags but I have to wait to see if they are the right size

Hello I am new to protosounds and programming. I am currently using the z4000 transformer, and I'm wondering if certain numbers do the same thing across the board or if all channels are specific by locomotive. Excuse me if my terminology is incorrect. Thanks in advance.
