@RBB&BC posted:thank you for sharing the pictures of your freedom train cars. Very unique and Adds a Significant historical Aspect to your collection. Those beautiful 21 inch cars must require at least 042 or larger curves. Added a bit of history to my layout too; I purchased some of the presidential and Bi- centenial series engines and cars. Also found a caboose listing the original 13 colonies. I think one of my favorites is the Joshua Lionel Cowen Anniversary series which Represents part of the toy railroading history we all enjoy.
@RBB&BC - and others:
The 21" cars require an O-54 curves which I find rather strange since Lionel doesn't make a 54" curve - at least in FasTrack.
I also have the "Preamble Express" - a train that was used to preview the AFT route/stops in 1975. Some of the Preamble Express cars were used in the actual 1975-1976 AFT.
