    Hi friends
    Now that my new Key GS-4 is here I figure its time to put together a passenger train for it so using brass car sides and American Limited cores I plan on building the complete 1941 "Coast Daylight" including the articulated cars. This will be the biggest project I have attempted so far and as the project goes along I will do my best to take photo's showing my progress. I hope to have the cars complete by the end of summer.

    Right now I'm in need of close up photo's of each car, I do not have access to books and there's no extra cash in this projects budget to buy any so any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm building the as delivered fluted cars with skirts.

    Nice loco!

    I also like the bracket detail on the station sign post.

    That sounds like an ambitious project Bob. It will look great pulled by your new Northern.

    I've been working on an ATSF project all day myself. I'm building a side door wood caboose now. :D

    Bob. That Northern is just beautiful. I also have a Northern but without the dressing and it runs like a dream if I keep it clean and lubed.

    Hi Bob,

    That GS-4 looks great, but I'll miss the Cab Forward. Good luck on your new project.
