Micro Trains State Cars

[John]

Have you ever wondered what a complete train of MT state cars looks like?

One of our BANTRAK members has the entire set and likes to run it .. you can see it here

[3rdrail]

Does he run them in the order of admission to the union???  ;D ;D ;D

[POVC]

Nope, he runs them in the order that Micro-Trains released them.

A friend of mine bought two State sets along the way.

One for running and one for collecting. :

The American Indians found out what happens when you don't control immigration.

sad but truthful...

Not really.

Unfortunately I don't have a video camera or I could make a movie title: "Ever wondered how a complete train of ConCor U50 in all the available paint schemes looks like?"
I have two sets, one to run and one I keep locked up in a special vault that is kept at 76 degrees Fahrenheit - temperature of the ConCor warehouse.

Just kidding.

I couldn't tell from the video, was it pulled by an official states car F unit and have a states car caboose too? Or don't they make those? I know they made 2 locos and 1 caboose for the Xmas ornament set and that isn't even complete til November of this year.

If you run your state cars your not a collector... If you don't run them your not patriotic...

Oh the conflict  ;D

If you run your state cars your not a collector... If you don't run them your not patriotic...

Oh the conflict  ;D

That's easy to solve: Buy two - one for collecting, one for running

[Iain]

I stripped mine and painted 'em.

What John isn't telling you is that there was a giant blender at the end of the track... ;D

Next they will do mental states

Despair , confusion , bewilderment , turmoil , awe , shock , well being , etc .

Followed by mechanical states

Disrepair , rusted , unlubed , etc .

I've run my Bicentennial MT cars at a club open house with other bicentennial related cars and locos. It's still a shorter train than the state car series.

Yep, I installed decoders in the A and B unit so he could run them on the red line route at Chantilly. Pretty sure he has a caboose too.

On a different note, I sold my nib DC car to Bob Mohr on Saturday. He's going to graffiti it. We'll need photos.
