The coach and the diner for these sets should have the "scallop" cut out in the skirt area due to the brake cylinder mounting. That is the coolest look that has not been done yet. Rich G

Yes- I saw the GPZ set on Ebay. I have a problem with the roofs (no short roof spars over the roof ends) and the letterboard on the Diner/Lounge/Observation. The as-delivered Observation car had a large letterboard on both sides of the side-doors that said BURLINGTON ZEPHYR. The later modified cars had a short letterboard in front of the side doors only that was centered over the lower name board- and was lettered BURLINGTON. Hallmark apparently mirrored the letterboards on both sides with 'short-long' board on the left side and a 'long-short' board on the right side. This would make you put ZEPHYR BURLINGTON on the left side and BURLINGTON ZEPHYR on the right side! Still pondering over the set though. __._,_.___ Posted by: rgortowski@aol.com __,_._,___ |
