Cabcar looks great.

Reminds me of the San Diegan

The 40 pushes it well and the LGB cars track great Matt!

I need to go to the next level with the mods on the Amfleet though and I have some more thoughts. Amtrash US mail maybe…:wink:

Nice Rooster. You need to make more videos though. Get to bed.

Thanks Buddy!

:wink:

Kind of late to the party, but wanted to say the videos look great. A little short, but nice!

Looks really prototypical. Nice work.

The Supers are all scratch built by David…aka Rooster. You won’t find them anywhere else. He’s got quite the bragging rights for 1:29 scale Amtrak.

Look around on this site and you’ll find many photos of his Superliners, and even an F40!

Not without your help and many others here at LSC. No bragging rights especially on scale I model what I want and what my eye sees. But I do love the Amtash!

Not to confuse you, but I had to share that on FB :wink:

I would like to model their box cars correctly. Have you done them yet? I’m not sure what base car to start with. Maybe the USA 60’ with single door? I need to find dimensions. I have a picture of one that has that big steel rim wheel on the door. I’m guessing that they are the only ones to use it as I don’t see them anywhere else??
I’d like to find a drawing of one first.

I made a mistake in thinking I could run 1/32 and 1/29 together in these. The passenger cars don’t look good together. I don’t notice the difference as much with the freight cars.

I personally like to BASH manufactured products differently than others
