My GM Train of Tomorrow set.

Sean, I've never been a fan of Fastrack visually but I must say, yours here is the BEST looking FT treatment I've ever seen!  It's nice that the ties are actually reflected on the sides of the rails enhancing the illusion. The ballast is what sets this one apart from most.  Beautiful train as well.

 Again, another truly gorgeous passenger train!  That's still one of the consists I am hoping to acquire someday.

These are some excellent videos to watch - Thanks Jonathan, I really enjoyed them! Especially the longer consists like the Santa Fe high level cars with the regular coaches, dome, and observation behind. Somehow, the last high level car running with an open end never looks 'right' to me  :-)

Is that the Williams Daylight steamer you have there? I remember when they came out with that beautiful gloss finish.

Thanks!  I really enjoy the longer passenger trains and luckily my club layout can accommodate them.  On the fence about getting a '51 Super Chief or a '38 Super Chief to make the combined El Cap/Super Chief.  It's only money?

Yes, the Daylight is a Williams.  It's a great runner and when I got it about 4 years ago, I don't think it had ever been run.  I don't know if the colors are accurate, but I like the brighter colors over the obviously inaccurate K-Line cars I have.  I just need to add some weight so I can pull all 14 cars.

My first experience around passenger trains was the era of the Jersey Builder on CNJ trains on the NY&LB on the Jersey Shore.  I never knew until later that passenger trains actually had matched cars.

Jonathan,

I was curious about your comment.  I found a picture which shows what you mentioned here: http://www.rrpicturearchives.n...ture.aspx?id=2863963 . Neat.  FYI, you can see a real world example of an inspiration for my semi-fantasy train here:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/jjpetric/40600967805/
