(Maybe we could talk Mudchicken into building us some railroad track somewhere out west where there is some running room. [;)] Well we can dream can’t we?) [^] [:0] [:p]
Hey Jim, Nice trainset! and a steal at $600K [2c][2c][2c][2c][2c][2c][2c]
Maybe TRAINS mag would consider buying this set and use it as a promotional train. They could move it all over North America, picking up forum users for excursions and promoting rail travel. Mr. Hemphill, are you listening?? [:D][:D]
If I had the money, I’d snap it up in an instant. Perhaps we could all chip in a little bit and use it to run some “forum specials”? I’ve always loved CN’s old green and black paint scheme!
That train is a bit overpriced. It hasn’t been a CN owned train for quite a few years. It was on the Waterloo-St. Jacobs tourist line in Canada until it failed and was then sold off. I doubt it would be of much use in the U.S. without a good bit of work as it is all Canadian equipment and would require some modification to comply with FRA regs.
As I noted above this is not CN equipment. Also, the Royal Canadian is CP Rail, not CN.
As to the Lottery, I just keep on playing. Dunno if I would buy this train with the winnings, there is a lot of passenger equipment on the market now in any event…
