RE: New electric locomotive cab!

Robert what makes you think a 1915 MLW Cab would be prototypical for a PRR Motor built in the early 30s???????
1st thing that leaps out at me is the lack of cab signaling which was one of the great leaps forward PRR (following the NH of course) made in safety and speed of operations on the NY to DC line when they electrified it....Chuck Schneider

I see the reverser handle is still in it.Never checked myself, but they must have welded it on. That's the cab of 10200A at the museum in Duluth MN.Todd

Todd,
It isn't welded on, it moves, but it is hard to move. This really is the one in Duluth. Which one is the reverser anyway? I suppose you would know.

Thanks, Chuck. Then I will make it for the boxcabs so I don't have to go through the work of trying to male a cab signal.
