  • 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
