I think both of you guys did a fantastic job. Though I am more inclined towards
Jordan’s observation car dome design since it has those grey pieces making it
appear like it has support ribs just like the real ones.
A few comments:
Jordan, make the observation dome a little longer and try to remove some of the
bricks sticking up on the ends of the dome. Also I think grey door designs would
be a little truer to the originals. Also you might want to think about bringing
the stripe up to the window line if possible.
So here are some possible combinations of cars:
1.) James’s Amtrak AEM-7 electric and Jordan’s standard car for the good old
northeast corridor trains.
2.) Jordan’s FL9 diesels with the standard cars and an observation car for
general old style long haul trains.
3.) And lastly Jordan’s FL9 diesels with the double-decker superliner cars (well
which many were ex Santa Fe).
Thats my 2 cents.

| Seems that James Mathis and I were thinking along similar lines this past week. I, too, designed some streamliner cars of my own using the LEGO Factory parts palette, although I modeled mine on the "Metroliner" paint scheme rather than for the Super (...)
