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:
SHSHZAMFDRRGOLLYGEEWHIZ 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.
Not so, Puddy... they were just like the deluxe coaches of Seaboard and KCS... http://railwayclassics.com/images/amflyer/SSW01-4x.jpg http://www.railroadheritage.org/index.php?P=FullImage&ResourceId=1375&FI=28&ID=2958 http://www.railroadheritage.org/index.php?P=FullImage&ResourceId=1334&FI=28&ID=3042
I took that to mean that the SP/SSW was just an example of the deluxe coach not that they were the only ones.
Yes, that's what I meant to say.... Puddy fails English 101.... Again ! LOL (Boy, grade three were the toughest five years of my life.....)
A pre production sample of the 1600 (ya know, "buy the fleet 1600's....) series floating by the station..... Cute little fellow isn't he...? No...? Ok; face only a mother could love but let's not tell him... he's very shy and has a bit of a complex... he rooms with an Alco C630..... (LOL)
