The Grandkids’ [Christian, Kelsey, and Luke] Easter train could be positively described as an “Eggliner.”
Note the switch on top of the battery-egg to power the Eggliner. JimC.
Not to rain on your post. But I have been curious… are there really such prototypical Eggliners?
timmyd said:There were, but they found out that the ears blew off when running on the NY to Chicago route...so they were curtailed

Almost exclusively an east coast aberration.
During the holidays, those ears doubles as pantographs.
The trouble was, when the fur got dirty, they’d get “flashovers” and a HUGE fireball…
Prototype for the Eggliner? Aristo says not really, but does include this picture:

Here’s the real deal for easter running…a “Plum Pretty” eggliner owned by Andre Schofield…from the RR Estate of Tiny Pearce…
Jim,
It’s a good thing those ears aren’t chocklit. They wouldn’t stand a chance around my grandkids!
