[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Eriediamond</i> <br /><br />My favorite type of passenger car is one that carries people. Kidding aside, I never cared much for passenger trains until a few years ago. You may find this silly, but a few years ago an older crippled and in poor health gentleman and a member of my club gave me an Atlantic Coast Line Pacific steam engine. I purchased four Athearn ACL heavy weight cars in the old Pulman green paint and an REA express reefer to go behind that Pacific. I put that consist on our club layout one night when Charlie was there. I had him stand near one of the tunnels on our layout and told him to watch what is comming out of that tunnel. I cannot describe the look on his face when that Pacific he gave me came out of that tunnel with that passenger consist behind it. He actually had tears running down his face. Now, that particular train will never change and will be in my collection until I die and then be given to the club in honor of a great friend. And that my fiends made me passenger train fan--- as long as there is a steam engine on the head end. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That story is very touching. [swg] <br /> <br />I like the big double-decker commuter cars. <br />Here is a link to a picture of one... <br />http://www.athearn.com/Product/Default.aspx?ProdID=ATH2542 <br />
