Trainmaster04 posted:Hancock52 posted:All Union Pacific for me although only passenger cars. In the UP Excursion line I have gone for (1) add on set #4 which is the one with the Lone Star Business Car and (2) the Promontory “Experience the Union Pacific” former RPO baggage car.
The catalog illustration of the latter car shows it has six wheel trucks:
Please pardon my ignorance but although this strikes me as definitely unusual compared to all of the other Excursion cars offered by Lionel, it seems to be accurate to the prototype, at least judging by the below image:
I would like to mention that Charles Ro, mr. muffins, and train world put the wrong photo for the #4 pack. It shows the wrong vista dome and the second car isn’t even the observation car. Any thoughts?
Lionel made photos available to dealers before the catalog release so they could be prepared the day of the official release with prices. The 4 pack photo was the same as the 3 pack photo. Many used that photo instead of the one in the catalog.
Hopefully the catalog is correct.
Like Hancock my only order will be UP cars but with 2 of the #4 add ons. One Lone Star will get relettered for Kenefick.
I just noticed the Funeral train set will have another Overland diner. This car was offered in with the Excursion cars already. I know the sounds will be different but a 2066 Power Car would have been a better choice IMO as it has never been done in O scale.
