Passenger Train Saturday

Lionelski posted:

I usually run freight but today I put up three passenger trains:

My postwar 746 Norfolk & Western J pulling 6 modern era Lionel N&W passenger cars.

My Union Pacific yellow and grey Alco pair ("Anniversary" set) with extra passenger cars for a total of eight.

and

My Lionel modern era Lionel Daylight 4-8-4 steamer pulling 6 daylight "Madison" style cars and, behind the tender, a matching Daylight colored "Mint" (bullion) car made by TCA's METCA division several years ago.

Cloudy day and basement lights off, what a sight. Pics to follow,

 

Here are the promised pics.

What passenger trains are you guys and gals runnin'?

The only passenger service currently on the Plywood Empire Route is the Dinner Train a la the Black Hills Central Railroad. It is implemented using a retired Golden State lounge car and dining car. For more dinner seating management is considering adding a retired PRR Business car that is currently available on eBay at a good price. 

First Call for Dinner is at 5:00 PM and the Last Call is at 7:00. The train is drawn by PER's workhorse  SW1500.

I love long passenger trains but a small layout doesn't allow for such things. Doesn't deter me from running passenger service though.

Bob;

Since I know you are a conventional runner, is on of those LIRR engines a dummy???

The PA unit is a dummy.......just like the operator

A board and a couple of motors would be all it takes to power it. K-line used their standard powered truck and just left the motors out.

Thanks for all of the passenger train pic and video responses guys.

I'm really having fun seeing the variety of ways to enjoy this facet of our hobby

I've posted this before over in the Tinplate section but since it is passenger trains....

Here's a photo of one of the 5 roads that haul passengers on my layout.
