@Dave_C posted:Another mixed train. The East Wind. Ran only in the summer from Washington DC to Maine. Pennsy, NH and B&M power and equipment was used. The one caveat is all the equipment even though owned by different RR’s was painted to match. MTH did the set a few years ago.
I was totally asleep when that MTH East Wind set came out and missed it. FYI on its operation and consist, after WWII the matching paint was dropped and only the B&M/NH operated the train. Mixed cars in NH, B&M could be found and even an Atlantic Coast Line diner was leased. Passenger train consist books can sometimes be found on ebay. I find researching prototype info fascinating even tho i do not plan to implement it in it's truest form on my layout. It still helps give a reason to what youre doing and if anyone ever asks why your cars dont match in your train you have a legit answer!
