Hey guys... I made a chart for a friend of mine and thought that others could benefit from it. So decided to post it here...
I did some research to see if all the components of the Bush Funeral Train could be assembled using the previous and newly cataloged Lionel cars and engines...
I got excited when Lionel cataloged the actual cab numbered Flag Units to go with the Funeral Train... i wanted to see if the entire train could be assembled.... so here is a list of the Bush FT and what catalog and sets the engines and cars can be from.
You need one car from the original UP excursion 4 car set: City of San Fransisco, and the rest can come from this new catalog! Get the Bush FT set, and the UP Excursion 2pack #3 and 2 pack #4...
The two engines are also in this new catalog: UP 4141 (in the set), and UP 9096...
I looked up the consist posted on the UP website, and watched video to confirm. This is the 11 car train for the final ride to College Station Texas.
Now we gotta get the Portola Sleeper car and the cool looking power car to complete the train! Oh Lionel!
The UP excursion fleet is larger than the 45 cars they call out on the UP website. It seems they just added the 'experience the UP' baggage car... hopefully this collection can continue to grow. I get almost everything UP, and certainly would want more cars... i need to lashup the new excursion big boy with my 844 to pull it all!!!!
I love this hobby!
