Ha. But, I can't really build this, and I'm small-town compared to you
Big-time Builders. All you makers of huge-o-mongous layouts, sculptures,
and scenery. Yeah, all you Train Club folks, you're Big-Town Players! I
really admire your collective massive work.

That would be nice. But, for this day and age, I would like the Amtrak
Southwest Chief set. That's what I get to see parked up in Albuquerque on
occassion. That's also what I rode last August to the PNLTC event at LLCali.
As for the SuperChief days:
I think it would be cool to have a series of train station models
representative of the various stops along the SuperChief route. Both big
and small stations. Mark Chan has the awesome Kansas City Union Station.
Even though my Southwest-style is inspired by the ABQ station, it certainly
doesn't look exactly like it. I wonder what other SuperChief stations would
be good to model for The Chief.
Thanks for the feedback.
later,
James Mathis
