Lee, Pola Max?  O gauge? Kit?

Here's another two:IMG_1062 If you look closely at the car numbers they're all 510.  The 510 came in a MTH RK set of full vista domes with an F40PH.  Long before MTH came out with that set, I picked up a set of RK Santa Fe streamliners with the red stripe and 2 additional vista domes that i intended to re-paint into Alaska RR colors.  That project morphed into converting them into NYC Empire State Express cars.  Before that happened I picked up both the ARR full dome set and some ESE cars and the Santa Fes languished for a while.  I then won an ebay auction for 3 of the 510 bodies, end doors and diaphragms.  So far the 2 additional vista domes have contributed frames, trucks interiors and vista domes so now my ARR passenger train is 5 cars long instead of 3 and I have the K-line Denali business/observation car to bring up the rear.    RK passenger car mounting to frame has changed over the years so the bolster in the body had to be removed and holes drilled in the bottom of the body to allow screws to mount to the roof bolsters.  Still have 1 more 510 to finish up.  Not sure if I'll sacrifice the vista dome from the set or the coach.  A couple of close ups of one:IMG_1482IMG_1484
