No customers were in the diner when I took the picture, but some should be in there soon!
Now there are customers in the diner.
Lounge car was always next to the diner.
Six cars are almost complete and four more to go.

These are some additional videos of the Hi Level cars and one video of the Deluxe train running. My train is a standard set with the Trak Works kit, led lighting and people added along with Alclad tinting on the glazing.

Thanks for the comment. It was a fun project and now I am working on some updates to the trucks and other small details on the outside. The pictures below is the diner after some passengers were installed.

Nice model, nice detailing, and nice video. However, it appears that the pattern on the silverware handles used on the model tables may not be exactly correct for the era modeled. [swg]
I am having trouble seeing it without special lens!!!
Thanks

If you need one of those special optical lenses, they are available from the Nitpicker Tool Company.
Yes, been there, done that!

The video below shows the coach car, which has a nice Santa Fe tune in the background.
I should also mention that Nitpicker Tool Company recently announced on Facebook and Twitter that they had recently received a shipment of Modeler’s Licenses. These had been in short supply for a number of months due to problems with their supplier in China. They have now found a new supplier in the USA.
These licenses are an exclusive item from Nitpicker and are only available direct. The price is only $32.75, shipping included to the continental US.
Please note that I have no relationship with Nitpicker other than being a satisfied customer.
Great news!! My Modelers license expired last May and I really need a new one to cover all of my mistakes.
HA!
