The History Of Penn Line Trains
History
The company's history began in 1947, when founded by Albert M. Mercer, K. Linwood Stauffer and Robert Faust. The three founders, hobbists themselves, realized that most of the model railroad equipment produced at that time was lacking the realism that true hobbists demanded. Japan and Germany produced little due to the recently ended World War II. While the main United States train model brands at that time, Lionel Corp. and American Flyer, did not put as much authentic detail on their trains as their O and S gauges would have allowed.
Penn Line's early contribution to model railroading was the use of printer's lead to cast the locomotives. This allowed very fine detail in the castings, much greater detail than could be achieved from stampings. And while the larger O gauge and S gauge had the potential for more detail, Penn Line's founders chose to use the smaller HO gauge. Their thinking was that the potential for realism coming from more elaborate layouts made HO the best compromise. This was at a time when HO gauge was far from the standard it is today. Penn Line produced about a half dozen different locomotives based on prototypes from the Pennsylvania Railroad, hence the choice of the company name Penn Line.
In the early 1960's Penn Line entered the then emerging slot car market. They attempted to bring the same realism that they had used in model railroading to slot car racing. The produced a nicely detailed, but poorly powered Indianapolis style set endorsed by A. J. Foyt. Problems with this product caused Penn Line to close and quickly declare bankruptcy in the fall of 1963.
Most of the former Penn Line Pennsylvania Railroad diecast steam locomotive kits were later produced by Bowser Manufacturing, and are still available in 2007.
