Our Score

The Pennsylvania A3 Switcher is a 264 page hardcover. The construction project in 3/4” scale (that you may scale up to 1 1/2” scale) is perfect for the first time builder. Sharp, detailed photos, incredibly illustrative drawings and inch dimensioning appeal to expert builders as well. Very thorough descriptions of part fabrication make any novice machinist able to build the engine with ease and confidence, from stock materials.

Our Score

Falk No. 1 Locomotive first appeared in a series originally offered by Live Steam magazine. The popular 1-1/2" scale Falk logging locomotive, a model of the 1884 standard gauge logging workhorse, continues to captivate builders. The full scale Falk featured a non-reversing "Gypsy" winch for hoisting and dragging in the logging operation. Our Falk's gypsy winch is powerful and fun to operate. The fuel of choice for Falk No. 1 is clean burning propane. Construction of the burner system and a riding/propane car are included. At about 65 pounds, the Falk is a small, simple engine that's easy to lift and transport to the track. 56 pages, softbound.
