I bought two of those when they were announced.  I think I had to order them from Amtrak.  I only needed one but figured I would spread the shipping and have no problem selling the second.  I did that after a few years.  Looks like I should have waited!  LOL

I have one. Forget who I bought it from.

Was after a trip in the 1:1. Incredible experience. To think that train travel was like this one day long ago. Was saddened/depressed after Amtrak pulled it from service.

Matt at Resourced Rails is local and a great dude.  He picked up this large N scale collection and brought most of it to the NSE in Milwaukee.  Sales surprised him so we can hope he'll have more N scale goodies to sell in the future.  Time to get on his mailing list!

There's a fascinating inside story on exactly how this prototype car evolved.

For anyone that might be at Altoona in September, track me down.  For anyone else, PM/email me.

Lets just say they had help.
