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 you’ll have pulling this work of art.

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 was a passenger engine, with steam generator. But mostly ran commuter cars in the San Francisco Bay Area. So it did connect to the Daylight. 8) But never pulled it to my knowledge.

I am planning to finish my GS4, but I’m tempted to build a E7 pair as well.
