Hey, Gaetan. Don't bother testing Amtrak NW yet. I have to swap out one of the E9s for a CB&Q E8......

Ah, AMTRAK of the Midwest to WEST Bound Vintage Heritage......looking good. Now I take, from reading between the lines, that these two trains may have some CB&Q power moved into the consist? Also, will we by chance happen to see a CB&Q passenger car or two mixed in as well Question

Skip,

Yes, I'm going to add a CB&Q E8. The set already includes a CB&Q California Zephyr dome lounge, Silver Lounge, I think (don't have the readme in front of me at the moment).

Good day Rick, first off thanks for the quick up date. 2nd, excuse my over looking the CB&Q California Zephyr dome lounge on the "1974 North Coast Hiawatha consist". Rolling Eyes

I should have looked better before striking the keyboard. Wink

Thanks, looking forward to the purchase of this vintage set. Skip

Rick, that is one great piece of locomotive work....will look great as lead unit of an out going AMTRAK Vintage Passenger set.......now we must wait, watch and then order. Thanks for doing one in the CB&Q with BN marking from the great merger. Skip

WELL,WHAT DO YOU THINK Question

Possible add on some day or even better yet a set of E*'s in CB&Q various paint schemes and of course the BN merger paint as shown. Rick, I'll get that spike off the rail now. Skip

Skip,

Timing wise, these are probably more appropriate for early Amtrak than CB&Q.

I'll look for some E9 picts, too.

Any chance of a green/white unit?

Possible for a bonus or a BN set. I already sent the Amtrak Heritage Northwest to Gaetan.

Thanks
