HO Scale AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN

[PeteM234]

I just watched a video of the Freedom Train that showed a flat car with trailers and vehicles on it. Do you know about that car? Pete

One thing on this, there was one previous to this, pulled by an Alco in the forties.

Johnny - How many cars did you add to the Lionel set? Are you going to try to make all the cars, including the flat cars and their loads? You did a nice job on detailing the bell and lunar rover. What did you do for decals ... I've been looking for a good set for years. - Steve

Awesome job.... One thing though.... car 200 was more than a generator car. Two 12 cylinder GMC generators, crew's bathroom and showers and a bunk car for the operations crew. Held 12 bunks and one seperate room for car foreman.... I know because I lived in bunk car for 3 months. Did you make car 201? the pullman sleeper that housed various crew members? Still I would love to have chance to see this in person....... how many hours did you spend on this wonderful reproduction?

Thanks Grube54, Yep, I realized that after I put the video together. The AFT 201 just came out of the paint booth(I airbrush everything including the stripes) and should be finished shortly. It's taken me about a year to get this far, working at a less than moderate pace. The train will be displayed this fall/winter at various mid-western locations. Thank you for your kind comments. And always good to hear from a a crew member!! Johnny

Nice work on the train. That is some impressive modeling. Too bad you had to paint over a Rio Grande car though ;-) (I'm a Grande fan)

[ThomasnBear1D3]

Cool! I'm planning on getting the Bachmann version of this

[jbhc71]

I have a lionel version and the Backmann version. The Backmann version is all in DCC
