Many Thanx Jub, much appreciated! I was surprised to hear that one of the Zephyr's ran through Wisconsin, and apparently the CB&Q ran freight along the trackage fronting the east bank of the Mississippi, so that gives me another option for running other than Milwaukee Road trains.
Yes the Burlington Northern definitely ran freight trains along the Mississippi route. I watched a green switcher work from my hospital room in Lacrosse probably around 1983. Technically they still do. The BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) still runs that route. I enjoyed the video Ed.
Many Thanx Ken, I appreciate your support! Sooo, it's safe to assume that prior to the merger, CB&Q freight trains were operating on those same tracks. That means I'll feel no guilt in getting some CB&Q freight to run! 😄
First time on your channel Ed. I enjoyed the history of the Zephyr. Congratulation on 900 hundred subscribers Ed. I enjoyed your channel and subscribed and rang the bell. Have a great day. Nick
@@nickltrains6952 Awesome - Many thanx Nick! I just subscribed to your channel as well! You have a great layout and lots of content over an extended period. I see a lot of channels go like gang busters and then just stop for no apparent reason. Burnout?
@@Ed-ICE-Berg Thanks Ed, I enjoy making the videos of my layout and sharing with fellow hobbyist. My son encouraged me to create a TH-cam account to shear with other people having the same passion for model railroading. Have a great day. Nick
I like the chrome F3’s in “ABA” configuration. But too expensive to purchase. So I created my own double A’s both powered (4 motors). I striped the shells and painting first gloss black followed with chrome paint over that. All done with air brush except the pilot is a chrome wrap. The aluminum frame is just highly polished. I don’t care about road names so mine is bare, no name just chrome. I see these chrome units on line in the $300 to $700 range. Too rich for my pockets.
I got the two 'AA" units and five cars all for under $700 (the 'B' unit and one of the coaches I bought separately) but I did notice the asking price for just the engines is through the roof, so yeah re-painting a less desirable engine would be a good option.
Nice you are pleased with your set for the $600 plus price. I can’t justify that kind of money for what is essentially a toy. My maximum ever payed is $105 shipped to me for excellent Lionel F3’s double horizontal motors. Most Lionel engines I seek are in the $50 or less range. I’m more than pleased with my four motor powered chrome F3’s I made from Santa Fe units that were way less than half of going price for a powered/dummy chrome pair.😊😊 I enjoy the creating of trains rather than spending a lot of money for an original.
I know where one of these are, he will not move on the price, I bought a couple of really nice sets, he will not budget on these.i will have to pay his price if I want, I like it.
Guss, it's a really good set. Even though the engines only have traction tires and no horn or bell, the cars are all aluminum! Quite unusual for the MPC era.
