Those look really nice Noel. I had them in MSTS in the early years. I like F7s and earth tones.

I still have a few bits and pieces to fix here and there, but so far, the Operation Lifesaver is getting there. There will also be a boxcar and a caboose to go with this.

Will these be "new" or at least show some wear?

Was the Pennsylvania Mining Company a actual company?

@Accurate

I might try to make weathered versions eventually. But first, the one's I'm currently making are "new".

@ glenn68

No it wasn't a real company. I was playing Railworks on the HSC, and I thought these would be perfect for the wye at Cresson.

Kinda ironic is the fact you're using an EL paint as a base and there was an Erie Mining Co. LTV Steel. *!!wink!!*
Hmm.. Gets me thinkin. !!det!!

I can see your point. Where I grew up it was the Pittsburgh Consolidated Coal Company or CONSOL for short. Also take in to consideration of the Montour Route, It is about 46 miles of coal mining railroad semi circled to the south west of Pittsburgh. Moving unprocessed coal from the mines to a centralized cleaning and prep plant with several interchange railroads and yards.
I noticed the F7's. I bet you had read or a fan of the Western Alleghany railroad who used Bessemer and Lake Erie F7's.
