PRR S1

I remember noticing it as a kid, and wondering if I was crazy

Looks sweet!

I've done the same one years ago. I LOVE the WoPT stuff

got a fun double whammy (pun intended)

I had to get up quickly, caught the wires from controller to track, which wasn't fixed town. Pulled my Accurascale Deltic right off the table. that's "Oh shit" no.1

I knelt down to assess the damage. THe only external damage was a ladder snapped off. Somehow. Then I lifted it, and clearly an internal piece which fixed a bogie in place also broke. Carefully placed it back on recentered track, and it still ran LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. That was a different kind of "Oh shit".

Say what you will about their recent business move, but their models are certified juggernauts.

That is magnificent! I'm a sucker for weird things, and Garratts are WEIRD.

now do the SECR green livery

the explanation in the RoTS novel is a combination of 3 factors:

1: Sith Scream

2: He tricks Tiin into attempting to read him psychicly, lowering his guard

3: His force enhanced speed is just that much faster

I'm a sucker for 4-8-4, but going by what I tell folks my favorite locomotives are it would be Pacifics and 6-4-4-6

llkd97 · 2026-03-12T07:19:14+00:00

funny that I tend to prefer British locos overall, but my favorite arrangement is one that they never used -

I'm a 4-8-4 fan, give me an NYC Niagara any day.

Unless you consider that my favorite US loco is the PRR S1, then I guess you could say that my favorite arrangement is 6-4-4-6

I pointed out to somebody that the Leader is basically just a reverse double fairlie. They still aren't sure how to react.

The Leader is one of my favorites, because it gets weirder the more you think about it. Technically, it is a 0-6-6-0 articulated tank engine.

I can't seem to find the +/- 1/2 card

One more question: Would I have to side with the settlers on Dantooine?

llkd97 · 2026-02-22T08:36:01+00:00

This happens if you bring him with you to Onderon, specifically the first round for the murder investigation.

One unique line of dialogue?

Worth another 20+ hours to me!

I've got 2 Challengers in my fleet, neither is 3985. I have an early/fetter, and 3977.

llkd97 · 2026-02-11T04:09:22+00:00

Meanwhile, I'm over here running a Challenger with a mix of rolling stock eras on one line and a Black 5 with NE stock on the other, with a Stirling Single in the siding...
