The ad on the right of the page, "Investors WANTED for growing Freight & Tourist Railroad" was what got my attention.

That is a very cool and unique car, however.

Drooooooooooooooooooooool!

I love that series of cars, and I'm glad to see one survives in great condition.

You an I both Dave.  Wish someone (Kato) would do a N scale of one.  I had the pleasure of riding in one during the early Amtrak days from Alexandria to Richmond, VA.  Great cars.

How lucky you are, Bob, to have ridden on one those cars.  More than once, I've told you that I wish I could have your memories of the railfanning that you've done in your life.   

I'd buy one or two N scale models, too.  Unfortunately, that car design is too rare and, I think, limited to the SAL, SCL, and early Amtrak.  We'll likely never see it mass-produced in N scale.

I love this site! Pure fantasyland.

They've had CP/Via Rail 'Riding Mountain Park' for sale for several years. I see the price is reduced. Apparently it has all the original fixtures, but it's still steam heated, and it appears to be on substitute trucks. It would need a lot of work...

Remind me to pick up a lotto ticket for the big draw...
