(...) Fantastic work! I've always loved this train, the color scheme is just so striking. The solution you've used to get the cars so close together is something I very well may have to look into myself for my Tequila Sunrise. The idea of having the (...)

(...) This is an absolutely stunning passenger train. The articulation of the cars looks awesome and the engraved bricks work beautifully. The GP9 looks a little out of place and I'm a big fan of steam so I'm eagerly awaiting to see the steam engine (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Thanks Cale. I agree the GP9 is wrong, but the only "correct" Deisels would be E7A, E8A, E9A or PA2, and E7Bs mix and matched in pairs. But the only PA I own is in Rio Grand colors, and I own no E units. My GP9 is modeled after SP5623, which (...) (16 years ago, 29-Jul-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Thanks Dave, Yes, all of the articulation in my train is a riff of whats's shown at the ILTCO presentaion, although I originally found the ideas here on LUGNET first. The shared car articulation is based on work by Steve Barile (URL). The (...) (16 years ago, 29-Jul-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) 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.
