Let’s have some fun with our passenger trains. Great pictures everyone. Happy Tuesday.
Larry what great passenger action. Beautiful trains and layout.

Video may be stopped to hold the car for inspection. The two light color bands are reflections. The cars are one color on the sides and ends, some roofs are black.

Sounds like that engine needs a couple of drops of oil to quiet those squeaks. Thanks for sharing.

Leapin Larry. You're layout is so what we used to say UP Town meaning it it great. Thanks for all the post you do. But as I've said before until these guys see you're layout in person pics don't do it justice. Here is my passenger trains for today. Hope you enjoy.

I finally got to the train room yesterday and rotated onto my “The 48 Club” Super O layout some passenger consists. First on the outer loop is an 1975 MPC era, EP-5 Little Joe and 5 Pennsylvania Baby Madisons. On the inner loop is a 1950 postwar 50th anniversary Union Pacific 2023 pulling three 2400 series passenger cars dated 1952-53.

Wow - some great posts!
JamesRx - those night scenes on the NYC are stunning. Brings back great memories of long gone passenger trains. And Farmer John - are you hiring farm hands?

Great stuff guys! Really enjoy it.
Norton, that is a beautiful passenger train. I don't believe I have ever seen it before. Who made it?
Don
Thanks Don. The engine is MTH, Weaver made the head end cars and Pullman Bradleys just behind and GGD made the Observation and cars in front. I did not have room for all the cars on my test track. MTH also made cars for this engine but all CN heavyweights are hard to find. I think there are some MTH cars on ebay now.
I saw 6060 on a fan trip about 50 years ago just outside Niagara Falls, Ontario and was hoping I would find one someday.
Pete
Norton thanks for the info...it sure is beautiful. If you can't get all the cars on "YOUR" layout, let me tell you that on mine the observation would hit the boiler front ! Thanks again for your response.

Here's my passenger train contribution to this thread ...
The MTH RailKing Aerotrain with nine coaches of Rock Island décor plus a 10th RI coach as the Obs Car -- as per the prototype. Initially, I wondered if the Aerotrain loco would/could pull all the cars around my layout with O42 curves, but the loco met the challenge!

Here are some of my favorite passenger train videos produced. I had a fun time incorporating real NEC run-by and station sounds into the HHP-8 passenger train running video.

Those new GGD Viewliner II cars are fantastic! I am looking forward to Scott's rerun with Viewliner I cars (more my era of Amtrak modeling).
