Not what I usually collect, but I cherry picked this out of Diane's model train estate
sale after telling myself 1000 times how much I didn't need this. But, when the
blazes will I find this again, on favorable terms? Like Frank says, the time to buy it is
when you see it. Then I had to find the A/A bookends to complete it. Now, if I
can only find the time to set it up on the Club's big layout and RUN 8. Supposedly
these models incorporate some kind of tilt technology, as the prototypes. Can't wait
to find out. But wait I shall. The boss keeps calling me up and telling me to get
my kiester into work  .

I wish you'd post some more of you Aero Train, Busss.
Even though it will make me howl in envy.

Chops, this is the Bachmann Acela I have. I want to give you a warning, these things are fast has hell! No way they can go full speed, they will fly off the track!!

Those Acela sets are gorgeous.
Ah, the Aerotrain. The train that for all its flash failed to impress the Union Pacific because on top of maintenance issues it had even less hill-climbing ability than the E-series diesels.

Oh Goody!
I do want a Canadian National Turbo train some time. Even
though I heard they were junk, too!
If I were Zelda, I'd just go out an chop down a pine tree and
whittle one out of a log. However, I am no Zelda. Any idea
who made a Turbo Train??

Uh, never mind, I used this thing called the "internet" and found that
Rapdio made one: 350 clams. Think I'll just be happy I got an Acela.
