Welcome one and all to the 'Philippine Railway Historical Society' blogsite. This site was set up to share photos, historical pieces, comment and virtually anything else pertaining to transportation in the Philippines, with a special emphasis on rail. Occasional we vary from topic, but this is the less serious side of the hobby shining through - cause sometimes, in this miserable and uptight world, we just take ourselves a little too seriously.
Since 1999, the Philippine Railway Historical Society has regularly published items, FOR FREE, of railway interest on our PRHS Website. These include locomotive, rollingstock and transit updates, as well as our occasional magazine, 'Along Da Riles'.
 Our interest base has grown over the years with our main Facebook railway group expanding to include groups interested in other Philippine Transport, modelling of Philippine transport and even a group for Philippine railfans interested in overseas railways.
 If it sounds interesting, come join in the fun of the oldest, and most diverse, group dedicated to Philippine railways and other transport.
 We look forward to meeting you.

If you have a question Philippine railway related, just drop us a line, maybe we can help.

~~ PROJECT 5010 ~~

Work on our prototype has been revolving around the air compressor box (thanks Reynante) and has reached completion.
This weekends PRHS/SMUT Modellers night will be mostly based on finalising the joining of the new cab front and starting on the window grills (an interesting mix of plastic weld and super glue required).
If time permits, a good look at detail shots of 5000 class for any other items that may be required.

  If you are interested in modelling the Philippines, please come and join our Philippine Modelling group on Yahoogroups.

~~ PRHS MODELLERS GROUP ~~
  Work continues on a prototype 5000 class in HO scale (see photo below) which I am hoping will lead to a personal collection of around 4-5 units.
  The thought of a commercially available one is still being mulled, however we are in the final stages of working on a kit for the CMC/CTC type railcars (later loco hauled) stock. Once sorted out, the roof will also be attended to.
  These kits we hope will be a good basis for anyone wishing to model PNR in HO (or indeed 12mm).

 
  For anyone interested in modelling the railways of the Philippines, or even the other transport modes, scenery, structures etc, we invite you to join us at the

~~ FRATESCHI U5B ARRIVES AT PAYATAS ~~
Like so many other promises I have made in recent weeks, this one to put photos of the U5B model are well behind.

However finally today I got around to doing a few shots and resizing them to show here.

It is part of the PRHS Modelling Group's idea to build a small layout based on a fictional station in Payatas.

This model is a fair bit longer than the real thing (model size), but when compared to the Frateschi model usually used for the 900s, which is also longer, they may well look acceptable enough.

Anyway, its arrival isn't marked with an immediate model, it still requires much work to get it going. This will be covered in more detail on the PRHS Philippine Modelling Yahoogroup forum.

Below are three photos.
