Anybody Run Passenger Trains ??

That's amazing. The older passenger cars were so interesting.

Here's a superliner group taking a trip down my layout.












For some reason right now, the market on ebay is HOT for Amtrak superliners. But don't be fooled gang, the Con Cor ones are 1/3 the quality of Katos, even though they sell for 2/3 the price. I was super lucky to find this pair of sets for 80 each buy-it-now. One set of phase 4's is up to nearly 160 now. (4 cars!)

I'm looking forward to Kato's release of Phase II superliners this summer. BLW was mentioning the sets would be sold for about $70 each. Count me in!

Pretty nice! It almost makes me want to get a PHIV superliner set.

 

Great stuff, all!

Here's one of my favorite passenger locos, although you can barely see any of its train:



Here's another one of my favorites: the Super Chief, rolling though scenic Arizona:

Grey One,
Congradulations on your layout. Is your 800 the Kato or Tomix? I have both, even though they look exactly the same, I find the Tomix runs a little too fast.

 

I leave the Model Train hobby tired of Waiting and Do my eyes Decieve me the Photo of all photo's has been Posted !!!! all we need now is a shot of it with some scenery and catenary and we are set !!!!!!!!!!

 

LOL
Um, You will be as old as I am befor you see catenary up.

Good start for cantenary,

Speaking of waiting, Tomix is supposed to release an N scale E4 Shinkansen this year.
E4 prototype

 

Kato actually Make a N-Scale Cantenary Set of Unitrack.. It is a Rather largish oval with Banked curves I think it also includes a Station set up aswell.. Not too sure how much it is but it would be great for the " Down town" part of any layout, then you can just connect normal unitrack for the country areas
