That's a whole different topic ;-)  I'll be working on a "short" black
Metroliner (10 cars or less) once the Soccer vans come out, and the window • panes
will either be plain glass, or the trans-lt-blue from 3225s.  I'm also • debating
on whether I'll make them black with the RWB stripe, or make a red/black • scheme
to match my freight train.

I'm nearly done working on my articulated dining car with domes for a yellow
and black metroliner, but it lacks windows (of course! :). I might convert it
to all black if we need to.


If we end up doing NMRA, it would be nice to have a monster Metroliner on
the layout.  I'll have at least 15 cars relatively soon (not all with full
doors/windows - 3 4558s, 2 grey wagon plates, and 4 4547s), Mike has 12, • so
that's 27 already.  Anyone else have any?

Sorry, I don't have anything in grey.

Anyone planning on bringing any 9V steam passenger stock? I've got something
that should pull it.
