Dear BLW and ZT team!

First of all, I would like to say that I love your trainsets and plan on acquiring some more stuff soon for my favorite railroads, ie. ATSF, BN and SP!

Now, I have a small wish I would like to express, which I know may be also a favorite in the community.

Would it be possible for you guys to repaint the lounge car from the "El Capitan" trainset into Amtrak Pacific Parlour cars (e.g. for Phase 3 and 4)?

For my part, I can say that I would be more than happy to pay for a quality repaint or buy the El Capitan Pack and have the repaint as bonus.

Again, I feel a bit embarrassed to post a wish like that, but I think it would be an awesome enhancement of the Jeff's "Surfliner 2" route experience.

Best regards,
Sebastian

I'd love to see the Pacific Parlor car, but I'd also love to see a whole set of the hi-level cars in amtrak phase 1 and/or phase 3. If it should inspire you, of course . . .
