Thanks Rob.

Searching Ron's using the terms:

"Terminal RR Issue 75"

"Meteor"

"Meteor Story"

etc...

...has not resulted in finding the book at Ron's. Suggestions?

Andre

Click the 3 dots Ron’s Books web page, upper right.
Get box - type in Meteor / hit return-enter.
Get 11 “results”.
My top result is the TRRA book.

FYI.  
For awhile, Wabash and the Texas Special (MKT and Frisco) had a thru sleeper agreement. It doesn’t get much print coverage, but I hope to get Wabash cars added to the offering as “extras”.  The configuration is 12-4 - a bit different from the 14-4. Wabash cars (3 assigned) rode onto MKT and Frisco to Texas or MKT and Frisco (1 each) rode on Wabash to Chicago.

Reservation numbers will be important to get this Wabash car executed. 🤔

The Wabash car is Blue. Together with the B&O extra, the cars will add an interesting color contrast to a Texas Special consist. I doubt these cars have ever been offered before in O scale  - Always a nice “plus”. Email Scott you’d like to see the the Wabash cars added to the offering !!!

Cheers 😉

Where to find/purchase that book? Hardcover or soft?

I think I would like to have that book.

Thanks for any info.

Andre

P.S. I found a copy at $49.95 + $6.95 shipping. Sound like a fair deal?

I see one on eBay for $45, and that sounds reasonable.

Thanks guys.

Bought the one at Ron's Books for $38.75 and free shipping.

Wabash thru sleepers would be great. But how about the PRR thru sleepers. A few of us have been asking & we seem to be getting nowhere with them.

Sorry this is slow. For comparison, I can say it took awhile to get the MP Eagle to its final offering - listing.  
We will get there. 👍🙂

So for now ……  🤔
“Extras” I’m wanting to add —>
*PRR through sleeper    
*Wabash through sleeper  
and Not Mentioned Before
*Frisco METEOR sleeper Cimmaron River BUT in Amtrak Era finish. This would be original paint but with painted smooth silver siding. To me, this would be cool as I think it would be a first private car we can add onto our Amtrak consists.  I frequently see the “Cimmy” passing thru Kirkwood Mo. - a St. Louis suburb.

My Photo.

For ALL of these, Please Send Scott an Email asking him to add these extras !!!!  AND by all means, when they get listed / offered, Place a Reservation. 😉

If you got the MoPac 5 Bedroom Lounge car that can be a private car behind a Late 70's and 80's Amtrak consist.

Nice ADD Ricky !!!!!!! I’ll be able to do  
that !!!  Can you add a FYI into the Eagle thread and take some credit for contributing this info. New info Always Appreciated !!!!! Thank You !!!
