(...) I had just come to the same conclusion regarding the mis-labelled images for the Dining Car and Mail Car - comparing to the images at the well-referenced "Fallen Flags" page - (URL) would be strange too if one of the alternative models needs (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That's what I assumed. First time I saw it is in the printed curved wings of the Green Goblin's flyer <set:1374>. I got a handful of bricks in it from the RLD backstage visit to LLW, left over from their Virgin Atlantic 747-400 cockpit model. (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I like these, and I like the idea of having optional builds with each set. Rumours were that we'd see a B-kit before anything else, but these are a nice surprise. I do wonder about the mass appeal of these though - clearly they're aimed at (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmmm. Every model I've seen of the Super Chief has had the stripes. Since I haven't researched the prototype, maybe the designers of the models had used too much "poetic license". Maybe other trains of the time didn't have the same decorating (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Fine set of cars. But as for the 'silver': I fear those bricks are molded in the new swirly plastic that is supposed to look metallic, but actually looks like really cheap plastic. May still be nice for a change as opposed to regular bricks, (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, the idea is to make a page about it and how to lower the output voltage and how to get more power from it. As A part of it I draw a schematic of it, which I'd like to publish to with calcualtions. The schematic is taken directly from the (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm not sure they actually *are* missing those stripes. Many pictures of typical ATSF stock from the period show them to be all stainless. For instance the ATSF Super Chief reference that John has posted a few times does not show stripes IIRC. (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm surprised no one has commented on the incomplete color schemes. The cars of Sante Fe passenger cars match the color scheme of the engine (War Bonnet). These cars are missing the yellow and red stripes along the sides. Not big issue, mind (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
