QUOTE: Originally posted by DeLuxe I don´t know if 5 mills would be enough, but if I could restore a whole complete train, then it would be SP´s 1950 15 car Sunset Limited complete with Mail/Baggage car, Baggage Dormitory, Sleepy Hollow Coaches, Pride of Texas Coffee Shop, Audubon Diner, French Quarter Lounge and the 10-6 Sleepers with the Blunt End Sleeper too. And the probably best feature would be the 4449 deskirted and painted black pulling the train!!!

QUOTE: Originally posted by davedaddykh1 Note: the C&O Allegheny has been moved indoors at the B&O Museum, which seems to have all kinds of money lately. Cross your fingers. My choice is the last mainline camelback, CNJ 592, a 4-4-2. I'd like to see this oddball suck the ditch lights out of an Amtrak train at 100 mph.
