Although too early for my 1970's era, the 1060 Fords look quite nice!

Yes, warped and bowed floors were a problem on both the bi-level and tri-level cars.  It seemed to affect more of the tri-levels than the bi-levels.

Apparently on the tri-levels it was attributed to the metal weight being bent.  If you could disassemble the flat car and bend the weight flat, and re-assemble, they would be fine.

Back to the earlier request, two parallel trains!

Pennsy GP9's with a coal drag next to NYC GP40's with a mixed freight.

More parallel trains!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
