Here are some fantasy cars remembering 9-11 from MTH. Some of you may not know that the words "Let's roll" on the side of the American Freedom Train's aux tender were the last words of Todd Beamer as they tried to retake AA Flight 93 after it was hijacked.
By the way, the actual AFT aux tender was not white but black with a red stripe to match the T-1.
I love the 4449/610 matching paint job AFT tender, such a shame they never used anything like that. I'm a huge AFT fan, having saw it in 1976 in my hometown in Florida. I was lucky enough, many years later, to ride behind 4449 re-painted in her AFT colors, in Portland soon after 9/11.
BTW, the aux tender on 4449 (from a cab forward, obtained for use after the Freedom Train was over) did have 'Lets roll' painted on it in that timeframe, but overall was solid black.
