What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

Not much. I believe someone said funding ran dry. I have some photos from 8 DEC 2012, however they do not seem to want to load, over 1 meg, maybe too big I will try to resize, but they are pretty sad.

The official plan is that the mechanical department will work on it "as time permits." Strasburg has been doing a LOT of contract work lately, and work that pays will always be prioritized above the 1187. I wouldn't count it out, but it may be a while.
