Hi from England [:)], I saw a listing today on ebay for a 3 car Athearn Bombardier West Coast Express set. As i’m modelling the ex SF Surf line, would these cars been seen there as Metrolink have similar cars and they go down as far as Oceanside. Any help would be much appreciated.
Well, Metrolink uses the same style of car, but I don’t think any WCE cars have ever made it down to the LA area, so you’d be looking at a repaint job. Interestingly, WCE does lease a locomotive from the Seattle transit system for use as a spare, but I’m not aware of any WCE equipment going south of the border. Any Californians (or Washingtonians) here who can prove me wrong?
Cheers,
Doesn’t the Coaster (San Diego to Oceanside) have Bombardier cars?
Yes, they do
