Hi from Belgium,
Yes funny but the basic idea exist here in Europe.
We have both diesel and full electric trains of this type still running.
Even in Dutchland around 1930 there was a steam like dooglebug., I think Trix or Roco have made a model of it..

Oh no, you caught me....Yeap, by day I'm a modest MRL modeler who only cares to be true to the prototype the best I can, and by night I'm the Amtrak car slashing EMD kitbashing monster from hell!!!!
Jeff, if that was one of my models then you have every right to come tie to me the Metrolink tracks. Oh wait, Not cool........We just had some one get hit today by the commuter train. My bad
Actually, I think that San Dimas Southern would look great on the side of that thing.

Nah Has to be a di(s)esel face.
I was going to comment that, well... Then I realized that some people don't run seven axle articulated hoppers or really strange steam that looks Japanese but never ran in Japan or anywhere else.

... or Hollywood´s idea on an articulated RDC?
This thing is not for the serious model railroader, that's for sure.I don't even like it that much even as a piece of whimsy or the machinations of an evil genius.
It's the kind of model you would plan on creating when drunk, take the plan seriously and build it when sober - latter, feeling an over riding sense of shame and betrayal of your fellow train modelers you pass it on to some seller on eBay who for reasons of mental instability is trying to take people of questionable taste for a ride by offering this, this creation at a joke of the decade price - dream on.

Is it a type of disguise? Camoflage?
AAACCH!! Maybe the 'idea' was to 'blend' in the engine with the rest of the train a la a 1960's bad Roger Corman 'B' movie----

ckape Well that's odd, but I don't quite think that's odder than the 16-axle diesel I saw once that somebody made out of two DD40s

Has anybody seen the new GEE WD40's?

Look on the positive side. There's plenty of room for a decoder and sound.

That's not without prototype...
A very similar Amtrak experiment is seen in this video at about 0:32 in. It's not quite the same, but similar idea:

jeffrey-wimberly I don't foresee many getting any sleep on board on that.

Not unless the prime mover was some kind of horizontally opposed engine---and that the sleeper component was on another car.
Sheeesh---and some people thought that a hexaplex was weird----

Packers#1 I love it man, those are FUN to create. I've made a few, though they weren't powered. It's fun to jsut create a watchamacallit once in a while and let your imagination take over the build. And in the end it looks cool as heck.

Well, what are you waiting for? Buy the ugly step sister. It's still up for grabs.
I just think how sad to have ruin those nice cars. I'm not even thinking that its at all funny.
Sad, so sad!
That beats the Y6b Triplex
Modern day Electroliner?
potlatcher Clearly, the seller has this lot priced way too high, but at least he admits (at the bottom of the listing) that it is junk and probably only good for parts. Based on some listings I have seen from sellers that are either poorly informed or outright swindlers, I wouldn't have been surprised to see this lot listed as "vintage", "custom", "hand built", "rare", etc . . . with a price twice as high!

Actually, 74 is about right for the three Veiwliners, and the stoarage car, let alone the articulated superliner

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope my wife does not see this.... she would buy it for my birthday and i would be forced to run it when my friends showed up and have to show them how much i love the present....ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!! SHOOT ME NOWWWWWWW
This is for all the guys who complain about not having a safe place to ride in when in push pull mode!No? ok then Dr Frankenstein and Gomex Adams got togther for tea and cakes one day and.....
Was a nice diversion. BTW Stix Awnuts II is a yahoo group based on that magazine.
Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train
It's amtrak's answer to all those back-seat engineers...
Makes me miss the old "AWNUTS" model railroad magazine, that was one of my favorites. They'd have loved this !!
