Well, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that our friend Yevgeny lives somewhere between Philadelphia, and New York City. Because that seems to be his only knowledge of Amtrak. Sure, if you want to model the "Northeast Corridor", this is the way to go. However, the vast majority of modelers live outside these boundaries, and wi***o duplicate what they are familiar with. I only offered the example of typical "mid-west" trains as a guide as to what one might expect to find in the early '70,s on the Amtrak scene. I don't think that my info was "useless unless you're modeling Michigan". I know for a fact that this was common practice all across the Amtrak network, from Los Angeles to Boston. I'm sorry that I didn't mention your beloved GG-1,s. But I did not get to see this territory as a young railfan. You eventually got stuck with "toasters", and I, got stuck with "F-40 Blast Boxes". Yes, we all long for the "Old days", but I was just offering my recollections, to help a fellow modeler. I'd "give-my-left-one" to see another PA-2, or 4-8-4, but nostalgia will get you nowhere. Let's try to be polite to one another in this forum. <br />Thanks much, Todd C.
