One Step Closer To Completing The New York Central Passenger Train

Today I will be picking up a Pullman 8-1-2 sleeper car that I will add to my New York Central Passenger Train. After this I only plan to add one more car to the train and my effort will be complete. The car I will be adding is a Pullman 6-3 Sleeper car.

I have it and it looks great. The Passenger train is representative of many of the New York Central named trains.

I Might Down Size The Grand Kids Layout




I was thinking I might have three mainline tracks on the grand kids layout. Now I am starting to think that 2 mainline tracks might be enough. The debate as it exists now is which line will I eliminate. My choices are BNSF, CSX, or Norfolk Southern. So far I have not made a decision. they all interest me. BNSF seems to be the most likely candidate. The locomotive I have is a cheeper Bachmann and it uncouples often Plus it is the only railroad in the mix that does not go through Michigan.
