Hi Ben,
I have visited those pages several times nad have found them invaluable in
putting together my EB. Now for the biggest problem I have been having........
The EB ran on the Q between SPUD and CUS and a Q headend car was added after
the GN headend car was removed. I have not been able to pin down exactly what Q
car was added for this run. I have posted in a couple of other threads here and
on the gngoat list but no answer as of yet. I would like to know type of car
along with names/numbers.
Thanks,
Tom johnson
(The other minor problem with the Walthers EB is the lack of the correct
Baggage/Mail Storage and 48 Seat Day-Nite Coach. Having these cars would allow
a correct EB from 1956-1965 timeframe.)
