Here's one I haven't had out of the box in a while...





The engines are fairly recent Athearn F7's while the cars are old AHM/Riv. that a previous owner repainted. I have an additional dome car and RPO.

Very nice Cheez...and the scene at the passenger depot just about steals the show!

I like those NP dome cars. There's one that I see every year on the New River Train.

How dare you don't use that engine that much! It's beautiful in that livery.

Return to those thrilling days of yesteryear when passenger trains were deliberately beautiful.

Thanks guys! This is probably my favourite passenger scheme. It is a shame they don't make trains like this anymore.

It doesn't exactly fit the outer space motif of my current layout...

I'll second the motion on that passenger scene. That looks so believable.

Hi DaCheez,


Thanks for sharing this beautiful set with us.

Now I'm back to look at it more.

I finally have my SOTW up! A lot of old Arnold Rapido stuff which are among my oldest running model trains.I got this lot you see here with the box for $15 at my local train show in February. The engine runs great too!
