Hi Steve,

I've got a Pennsylvania PRR FA+B+B set.
The FA and one FB are converted to switchable track/battery RC power.
They ride rather high, as you can see compared to the heavyweight car -

Steven, these questions look rather familiar!
I've had mine for a year now, got them off Ebay USA because I wanted PRR.

Like all G scale electric powered locos they'll work up to 24V.
Most people use 18-22V controllers.
Yes, The Train Engineer basic will be fine, for one loco at a time.
If your NW-2 runs OK then so will an FA.

I agree with Neil. I used Georges site a lot when I aquired my FA`s. I have an SP and Rio Grande. One problem with the early ones are the trucks. The gearwheels tend to wear quickly, you can buy new updated trucks. I have lowered the chassis using his methods. Cheaper than buying the lowering kit.
