Are you kidding me? The color combination is terrific, but not traditional. The Ruby Red color is beautiful, and coordinates beautifully with the cream trim... and dovetails with the black nicely. The striping on the loco is similar to the prototype, and nice looking too!
The firemist colors are very nice and will look great going around the track! Great job with the colors Lou.
P.S.- We like red/maroon trains out here in the midwest. Frisco, Katy, GM&O, Alton Route all had em back in the day.

if this very first set does as well as we anticipate then just wait.

OK that got my attention. C and A used local St. Louis names on the cars. Might be good timing for 2013 since a convention is here and the names will be fresher in the members minds...
Texas Special... Do tell!!! That is totally down my alley... especially if it is the Frisco Version!
Silver Bullet? Maybe you could PM me?
A beautiful set! Does anyone know just how the lcca came up with the idea & scheme for this set?

send a deposit in if you are a memember. if not a member send $35.00 and the deposit. you will then have a one year membership to boot
I posted on the other thread but thought I would also ask here -- why are the cars lettered for the New York Central but the tender is lettered Lionel Lines? Why aren't they the same?
Lou,
