Not much detailed but super sturdy. Lasts 200 years Then came Mikado, BigBoy, GG-1 and PA-1. Highly detailed but one must handle them with care [:p] Just love both lines ...

For exampel the old F7's. Most of them got #337 regardless of RR-company, driv-unit or dummy. I must say that in this matter are M economicly stupid against them self. Why? Because some customers will buy 1 locomotive if there are just 1 roadnumber avalible, but BOTH locomotives if there are 2 roadnumbers avalible!

I think there's also some controversy of the as to whether they are an F3 or an F7 - apparently they are a mix

The museum is well worth a visit for any RR or MRR fan if visiting the St Louis area. they even have some kind of little Italian electric loco there for some odd reason. They have a huge collection of locomotives and passenger cars.

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,762 Location: Brisbane, Australia		That Aero-train is not unlike the current Marklin Insider model in concept? Also, the National Transportation Museum in St Louis is one of only two places you will get to see a Norfolk and Western Y class 2-8-8-2 in the flesh. Y6a #2156. The other place is the Illinois Transport Museum near Chicago, where they have a Y3, but not sure of the number. Very impressive machines in my opinion. The Y classes were compound locomotives, quite uncommon anywhere in the world. regards Kimball

Joined: 15/02/2004(UTC) Posts: 1,591 Location: Pennsylvania		seems more like from the account in wikipedia that the aerotrain was more of a marketing gimick by GM to compete with the growing jet and constellation airliners. also said to be very rough riding (coach frames used bus designs). Not sure if that is comparible to the Senator. I got some photos of the Y6a at St Louis. Broadway limited/PCM did a model of this one, but it must have sold out the run quickly as I rarely see it on ebay anymore. I visited the Illinois RR museum west of chicago if that's the same one you are referring (there's also the museum of technology in Chicago proper). I don't recall a Y class there. Most of their collection of steamers are rusting hulks stored outside (watch out for the wasps and hornets when walking through this section) - about 75% of the locos, whereas St Louis's collection seems to be a little better maintained.

On first inspection the hopper cars appear slightly longer than those from recent UP and NYC sets. And the whole set is only about 100 € more expensive than a single GG1 [:0]
