I've been thinking for awhile what a Tyco movie tie-in with "Silver Streak" would look like. Gene Wilder's passing and another watch of Silver Streak spurred me to do this.

I'd picture a Brown Box set. I'd personally design 2 versions. A smaller oval set featuring an F9, combine, coach and observation would be the basic set.



Deluxe set would include a turnout to a side-track and a cardboard station for a recreation of the Finale. (Which might void your warranty if done too fast)



Now I need to make some Amroad decals...

ok Obsevation is wrong as it was a dome car
the only loco that exists now is #4070

you make them SS decals you make 2 more sets for ME!!

we all know this is a thinly disguised CP Rail train

this another reason I wants the L.A. railroad station Walther's makes

all chevrons on the AMroad signs on the loco face forward on both sides of loco

I know it was a Dome Obs (Kokanee Park to be exact), but Tyco never made a Dome Obs ;)

I'll fix the decals :P

Put me down for a deluxe set!

That train wouldn't be that hard to duplicate, the graphics aren't that complicated. Do it!

If I were to actually do a "shorty" version, I'd kitbash a Dome Obs from LL Parts

That's a great idea. Another possible source for the dome is a old ATT or Tri-ang dome-obs. The dome portion on those are really nice.
