    Of course you'll get away with that !!! You called them "American Flier", not "American Flyer" !!! No copyright problems there !!! Sorry, I just HAD to do that. I'll go away now !!! :teeth:

    LOL Followed by a real deep, almost irreverent, befuddled sigh!

    Gosh, I like those new American Flyer cars that Rapido is putting out....and.... gone are the American Fyer and Rapido couplers... AND ...in are the knuckle couplers. How about them cookies?

    What I wouldn't give to have my old American Flyer set of passenger cars and locomotive back. Followed by a heavily accented and frustrated sigh!

    Oh well it is what it is!

    Agreed, but my little branch lines are still running open vestibules behind a Mogul, like my last trip up to Ashland, NH from North Station in August '51. Though maybe I need a better served summer-only train to the Lakes Region for "Summer Folk"....hmmm?

    I'm sold for at least two... Boston - Montreal isn't going to serve its self, you have to tell me twice to pick up B&M passenger equipment while its still on the primary market.

    Technically, they aren't Osgood-Bradley cars either, as the former stagecoach company was acquired by Pullman and renamed prior to the 1934 debut of the passenger cars. The official name of this prototype is the Pullman Bradley Light Weight.

    I took that to mean that the SP/SSW was just an example of the deluxe coach not that they were the only ones.
