At the end of the day - you have got to decide whether you want to run a representation of the daylight express or copy down to the last rivet! <br /> <br />The daylight is a real favourite of mine, and seeing as I cannot affort Brass I ahve settled for the Bachmann GS-4 or Proto E7 /E8 and a rake of Athearn blue box streamliners. Yep I know they are not like the real thing, but they give a good (relitivly inexpensive) representation of a daylight express consist. <br /> <br />I also have a few Spectrum daylight heavy weights and somelines chuck them in the rake as well to make the numbers up. <br /> <br />I had a rake of IHC smooth side streamliners and I sold them - they were just too plasticky - and you had to pay extra to convert them to take kadees. <br /> <br />If you want heavyweights in daylight colours you are stuck with the Spectrum coaches (which are not bad models) but if youw ant to go for something along the line of a 'Lark' rake there are no substitutes for the walthers heavyweights! <br /> <br />Rivarossi 60's are also great - but you will only get SP versions in the Green livery - plus they are now out of production. <br /> <br />Hope that helps - if you can'tdecide get a few different rakes! <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Stephen.
