Hey Mat,
You completed the CZ??? Please share photos. I saw the D&RGW Alcos in the
background, but no cars.

Yea, I’ve had the CZ for awhile now, And I didn’t think to take pictures at the
show. I’ll see about doing so if I can ever get unchained to my desk at work.
So Far I have a baggag car, two dome cars, a diner, a sleeper, a chair car and a
dome observation. As well as a WP F3A/F3B/FP7A lashup. And of course the Rio
Grand ALCO pair are also accurate for pulling this train.

At least with my first steam engine I found it was nice to have a pair of
diesels for shows. The Hiawatha ran great on the flat floor at home, but man
it still isn’t too crazy about the wobbly tables at shows.

That’s part of it. The steam engine would be unpowered if I made the wheel
spacing proportional to the prototype. I’d then use a pair of motor in the
tender. That with the motor as the shared truck on the twin chair car. should be
eneough to pull the train, but pushing a large engine tends to make is picky
regarding track.
But mostly I just haven’t gotten around to building my own E7 yet, and this is a
good excuse. Although it should be paired with a ALCO PB unit!
