That's the one. Here's my version: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=226 It's 6 wide and uses no train windows (except for the doors). I liked that currogated brick design so much I had to try it out. I used the pictures of the o gauge metroliner at the train show for the windows/stripe configuration.

Neat. You got the RDC shell appearance as close as you can without being able to do the tumblehome. Better than John did, actually. But man that's a lot of corrugated! (...) (27 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Looks a lot like the real metroliner, although the loco looks a little uhh... fast for this train. (I'm looking at a pic in the book "Supertrains", which is a great book for pics of fast trains) Alan Random set: <set:6373> (27 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
