Whats that?
Posted by Supermicha on Saturday, February 14, 2004 7:20 AM
In a local hobby shop i found the walthers superliner set below. Can anyone tell me something about the prototype? I have never heard something about "tracks in the sand"

thanks, Micha

Can't make out whats on the cars but they have something to do with Florida. Don't know if it may be a snowbird train or a tourist train in Florida. If I knew what the logos say on the cars, I may be able to research it, All I can make out is tracks in the sand. The orange slice, space shuttle, and sea shell tell me it has to do with Florida.

I've heard of this one before - one of the big advertisers in MR has it for $49 at the moment, never seen any pictures though. I just wish my LHS had those sets, ideally for the same price - my 5-car Superliner set cost about £100 or so to assemble from single cars, then another £60 or so on MHCs and Express Boxcars!

Other than these are Amtrak cars running in florida. They are definately from Fl because ive seen these around. I know you cant read it, but each one is named after a city in Fl - miami, ft lauderdale, jacksonville, ect. The services to FL are called the Silver services. other than that, i do not know exactly what line it runs.[2c]
