I'd go FEC if I were you - then Ed will allow it on his layout!

Hell, I've got some FEC cars that I'd be more than happy to loan you for, well, an indefinite period of time.

FEC, PRR, and RF&P were three such foreign roads that I was thinking of.  I'd be honored to host one of your cars, Ed.

Did you (Ed) ever buy those special run FEC MTL heavy weights from The Collector?

Nope. Never did. Probably should've, but I decided to buy a layout instead

I've got a PRR coach that will fit right in.  Had it made for me.  Believe the PRR only had 3 of this class.  They were used on the ACL trains.  Originally had the ACL color board but mine is the later PRR scheme.  Next time we manage to hook up I'll  try and remember to bring it for loan.

That E-7 is pretty sexy. In the early Amtrak years are probably the best with all the mixed East Coast passenger consists and varied motive power.

Dave, That is a nice looking bulldog nose E7.  The Southern Covered Wagon passenger locomotives also had an attractive paint scheme.

Bob, What is the location of the ACL Shovel Nose E3?

Looks like Union Station, DC.  They did a heritage day a couple years ago, didn't they Bob?
