[CBQ] Re: Oriental Ltd TCZ vs. possible BLI

["graywolfs2" <graywolfs02@hotmail.com>]

Hi Scott,

As of now I have no glazing in the windows of any of the cars. And in all 
honesty, I haven't even decaled all of the cars yet even though I have had the 
set for a number of years.

I do have tinted dome window inserts from Rix and at least one from Railway 
Classics/Shorham Shops for use in the domes.

As to the locomotive to pull this consist...when I did have a layout (currently 
with out, but have one in planning), I used two Proto 2000 E units (in "Q" 
silver of course) and they handled the seven cars quite well...even up the 
helix I had.

The cars roll as well as any other brass import, although I do have one 
"squeaker". I know of a couple guys that changed out the brass trucks and I 
believe used Concor trucks in their place.
