Even with the clouds of war gathering over Europe the management of the Blueboard Central Division of American Flyer Lines decided to upgrade their passenger service. Last week they sent their most recent acquisition on a tour of the system.  The new passenger cars are real beauties,  Here they are as they passed through town.

They were pulled by one of the mighty Hudsons

They are just as pretty leaving as they are arriving.

Taking decent photos with a cheap point and shoot camera are frustrating unless it's daylight.  Here's my 390E that I restored a few years ago.

Thanks Frank for getting me off my rear end and doing some track work courtesy of your fantastic column this month in CTT.  Just getting started and I'm liking the results so far, 15 minutes at a time. Big Smile
