Conrail's OCS Train

[Brent]

I was curious to see if anyone besides me has ever attempted to model Conrail's OCS train. I've successfully made 5 cars and two of the three E8's they had. If I knew how to attach pictures, I'd post a few.

I vaguely remember something about Conrail Es... What was this train again?

The Conrail OCS was Conrail's executive train where meetings were held and employees' families were taken to different events. It's basically Conrail's business train. There were numerous heavyweights, lightweights, and a few oddities. Conrail had a boxcar modified with a compressor and generator for the cars when a locomotive without HEP would pull the train. They also had a baggage car(now not in use). There were three E8's. 4020, 4021, and 4022. I've modeled 4021, and 4022. I used PROTO 2000 E8's and superdetailed them. I also changed all the cars I've built. Every car now has the exact window arrangement as the prototype. Lot's of work http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif.
