Thank You Vern Yellowstone Special,

 


In a recent thread "Your Favorite Passenger Cars", Vern posted his Super Chief set from 2003.  I had talked about my set from 1992.  He let me know how he had searched for his set and was delighted with the units.  We both run smaller radius curves and our sets are 15" cars.  He told me how the detail and lighting on his set was terrific.  He also told me there was a set on eBay at a reasonable price.  I hemed and hawed about buying another set.  The set is realitively rare and I did not expect it to last very long on eBay.  Every night I looked at it and decided it was not going to sell until I bought it.  Sure enough I gave in and bought the set.  It arrived yesterday, brand new in the boxes and quickly went on the layout.  I now have two Super Chief sets. One for outgoing passengers and one for returning passengers.

Below are multiple pictures.  It is a very detailed model.  The comparison to the 92 and 03 sets is remarkable in the detail.  2003 has sprung articulated trucks, LED Lighting with switches, grabe rails, detailed painted interiors including passengers.  92 has silouettes, non sprung trucks, incandescent lights and no interior detail.  I just want to say, thank you, to one of our nicest members.

The first set of pictures is the 92 model.
