That is a beautiful boxcar.

As a slight aside, do 2 rail cars run well on say, Lionel track? Thanks.

2 rail cars will NOT run on Lionel tubular track. Atlas, MTH Scale Trax, and Gargraves yes as they have more of a square rail head like the real thing. Tublar track requires the huge flanges of 3 rail cars.

Thanks! I appreciate that. I'm dying to run my new Amtrak train, I got a new Athearn F59PHI Amtrak and 7 Walthers Superliner II cars, but I fried the DCC decoder when I tried to install it, so I had to take it to a professional to install, and I have to wait a couple of more weeks...

Oh yes that would look real nice. Are you getting sound in your F59PHI?

 

[ICG/SOU]

Thank you. I figured not, but didn't know for sure.

Nothing as pretty as a building at night.....

Yes sir. I also got the lighting kit for the cars, it looks awesome!

I know you model Amtrak too, my favorite part of my layout is now union station.

Thanks! I'm going to try and take some more pics with my camera on manual settings, because that sign is actually neon red, and it looks orange-ish. I'll try that tomorrow night and post back here.
