RAILROAD MUSEUM
Of PENNSYLVANIA
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is privileged to own several
of the paintings by famed railroad artist Griff Teller. The painting (right)
of Pennsylvania Railroad Business Car No. 120 was done by Teller at
age 74, beginning a successful "retirement" career.
The Museum is committed to establishment of a permanent display
portraying Teller and his accomplishments. A generous gift of $5000 from the Teller family and friends spearheads the
effort. The "Griff Teller Memorial Art Fund" has been established through the Friends of the Museum and is being used
to improve the Museum's second floor exhibit gallery, in which many of Teller's well-known and original artwork are fre
quently displayed.
"The grant could not have come at a better time," noted Museum
Director Dave Dunn, "Museum staff has designed a section of the
gallery to showcase Teller's art including some of his personal effects
and original artist materials. In addition to an increase in gallery space,
new lighting, library reading and research rooms and staff workspace
are also being provided."
Griffith Harold Teller (1899-1993) was born in Newark, New Jersey,
and attended the School of Fine and Industrial Arts in Newark and the
Art Students' League in New York City. Teller worked as an artist in cal
endar production and ad specialties for the Osborne Company, painting
numerous landscapes and stock scenes offered in Osborne's catalog
of calendars for their many clients. From 1928 to 1942 and from 1947
to 1958, Teller created the oil paintings used on the Pennsylvania
Railroad's annual advertising calendar, hundreds of thousands of which were distributed worldwide. Teller's art work for
the Pennsylvania Railroad has achieved legendary status.
Following his retirement, Teller taught art classes and traveled to Vermont where he painted one of his favorite sub
jects, landscapes with barns. Rediscovered by railroad enthusiasts in the 1970s, Teller began to acquire hundreds of
commissions to paint railroad scenes. Most featured the Pennsylvania Railroad.
In October 1984, the Railroad Museum displayed the railroad oil paintings of Griff Teller at the first major art show
staged at the Museum. With 14 original works on exhibit, it was, to date, the largest gathering of Teller works ever
assembled. Although scheduled to close in April of the following year, the exhibit was extended an additional six months
due to its popularity.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's railroad heritage license plate, unveiled at the Railroad Museum of
Pennsylvania in December 1998, features Griff Teller's famous 1928 painting, "When the Broad Way Meets the Dawn
(shown right)." This dynamic work of art depicts the power and speed of a classic K4 locomotive as it pulls the eastbound Broadway Limited along the rural and peaceful Juniata River
Valley in Central Pennsylvania in the late 1920s.
For additional information on Teller's work, consult: Dan Cupper,
Crossroads of Commerce - The Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Art of
Griff Teller. Richmond, VT. 1992. This highly acclaimed book is avail
able in the Museum's Whistle Stop .
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's permanent collection cur
rently includes five Teller oil paintings: "When the Broad Way Meets the
Dawn" (1928); "Giant Conquerors of Space and Time" (1931); "SpeedSafety-Comfort" (1936); "Untitled" (Pennsylvania Railroad Business
Car No. 120; 1974); and "The John Bull Replica" (Commissioned by the
Friends of the Railroad Museum; 1983). In addition, "On Time!" has
been recently donated to the museum, as has "Conway Yard." Private collectors and corporations occasionally place
their Teller works on loan to the Railroad Museum.
You can help make a world-class museum even greater!
Gifts to the Museum maybe made to the Friends of the Railroad Museum in cash, securities

Endowment Fund, deferred options, memorial and naming opportunities also are available to

-"•—NOTICE: When you are ready to install your chosen DCC sound decoder, you will need to remove
the body shell from the coach chassis. Please note in the exploded view the gray arrows pointing to
the "clips" on the chassis. It is important that you use a small wooden tooth pick or similartype prying
device to remove the body shell. Simply place the wooden pick between the chassis and the plastic
shell and gently pry the body shell up in all locations.
CAREFUL: There is a chance that the chassis will fall from the body shell suddenly. Be sure you are
supporting the chassis when removing the body shell
To use the DCC Sound decoder effectively, we have designed the DCC Coach with "break-away"
interior seating. Simply remove the interior seating and inspect the bottom for the "scored" break
points. Simply "snap" the interior seating detail to remove the center portion. You should also remove
the weight which will expose the speaker holes. The weight of the DCC Sound decoder should
compensate for the weight you are removing. Itwill be your choice, and ifspace permits, ifyou want
to return the weight into the car. Re-assemble the coach making sure that the clips snap the body into
place and that coach is in the correct orientation of travel.
