Those are Lionel F units owned by Kent Johnson (to be reviewed in the December issue).

The shot was a module made by Kent. The track was regular tubular track and the sides were painted IAW the feature on p. 33.

Hi,

 

I just received the November issue of Classic Toy Trains.  I must say...I like it a lot!  I have several questions regarding the cover photo:

1.  Can anyone indentify the Canadian Pacific  F units? Who is the manufacturer of them?  Lionel, MTH?, Atlas?

2.  I like the track.  It captures the essence of 3 rail traditional track.  I read the article describing how he detailed the track.  However, the cover photo shows, to me at least, that all 3 rails have been blackened, just not the center rail as described in the article.  Can this be confirmed by someone?  And it appears to be a black shiney coating on the sides of the rails.

Steve
