@AmFlyer posted:I am going to pass on a Reading set. I already have 8 AM passenger sets, more than fit on the layout at the same time.
Below are some additional pictures of the NH sets. I took these outside in direct sun this morning. The Observation car is from the new rerun of the 5 car NH set. The 80’ sleeper is from the original run of the 3 car 80’ sets. The difference in paint color is obvious out in the sunlight. The original run paint on the John Winthrop sleeper is a good match with the NH Trainmaster green. The new paint on the rerun of the 5 car set is much darker.
The Observation has been modified with three axle trucks. All the cars have coupler arms that were each shortened 1/4”. The set looks much better close coupled like this.
Love the purple sage. Shortening couplers; what couplers are you using?
