E6s 6028 Breaking In


Doug Kisala <dougkisala@...>
 

Hello lists,

Using three different decal sets, I gave my unlettered Broadway Limited HO scale E6s a Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines identity.  The real 6028 was PRSL's last passenger steam engine (built for the West Jersey & Seashore in 1914), lasting until late in 1951.  

I am curious when she last ran in revenue service.  

The unlettered model comes with a Keystone number plate in place, but includes a replacement round number plate in a small bag.  I used BLI's plate, which I thought was easier than adapting Cal-Scale's round number plates.  

I used Champ's BRH-45 set for the tender tank lettering and cab side lettering.  I used a Tichy numberboard set (10391, a bit large, but workable) for the headlight side numbers, and Microscale's 87-1166 for the round number plate (not visible in the photo).
