Forgive the assumption, but that's really saying something impressing you into the wrong era. Nostalgia or not
Well not really, as there are photos of CZ streamlined cars included in with heavyweight cars, when they were being "transported/broken in" to staging points such as Denver or Chicago. Thus, on occasion, I'll be able to add the CZ domed observation onto the rear end of my CB&Q heavyweight Exposition Flyer" train, to depict it being transported to Chicago.
Jack, IMHO that just might be the finest passenger car that Atlas has ever produced.
GO HAWKS.
GO HAWKS.
The CSX engine is nice !!
got these from a forum member this week.

A wise man once said, " More Power!"
These effectively solve any concerns I might have had about powering the future layout. Both arrived in working condition and looking like the one on the right.

My grandfather always keeps a look out for train stuff for me at Estate sales he goes to in the area. This time he must have committed highway robbery. He got me 5 K-Line scale heavyweights and said he only paid about $12 each (these are the nice ones with the interiors). I have three of the six cars from the Rio Grande set (baggage, diner, observation), and the diner and observation from the Southern Crescent set. My plan is to run a long mixed excursion train with those as well as my MTH Congressional cars, as is often seen on fan trips today.

There's probably that many the world over, Adriatic! 
My LHS has a set just like this one for sale. The selling price is about $330. Originally Posted by rtraincollector:

Picked up this airbrush for those bulk spraying projects, like painting track, dull-coating, or spraying underframes of several cars in 1 session. 2 different size bottles, and 3 different needle/tip combos. Shoulda bought this a long time ago!
