With the recent announcement of the new Lionel VISION Line J1e Hudson, I was already planning on assembling the components for a reasonably accurate Twilight Limited in 3RS for whichever model I order to pull it.
A quick DuckDuckGo search says these did have coaches after World War 2, but the majority of the consist were Parlor cars and a Diner as was the case prior to the war.
I already had a few Golden Gate Depot 8-1-2 Sleepers in Pullman lettering on order and just got an unmarked 12-1 Sleeper from Beth at Public Delivery Track for another consist. I would easily order more if need be, since Scott still has the reservations for these open as of writing.
I realize the existing Lionel heavyweight tooling is not the most accurate, plus I don't like how much work it is to get them up to 3RS standards, but they are more affordable and easier to find.
I know GGD made a really nice Baggage, Diner and Observation pack awhile back for NYC, but finding any of those three isn't easy. Especially the Diner. I don't know if any of the Parlors were made that weren't for the streamlined Dreyfuss/20th Century consist...
For the die-hard NYC enthusiasts out there, let me know of what would be my best method to assemble this consist.
