Chris Quinlan wanted to model a late 80's to mid 90's Amtrak Heritage Fleet. Take a look at where a little imagination can get you! Read his story below.

Nearly a year ago I ordered a bunch of Con-Cor corrugated passenger cars and Amtrak decals from your store. When I got my product, I had a huge project ahead of me that I just recently finished. I wanted to model a late 80's to mid 90's Amtrak Heritage Fleet consist, but nobody really makes one that is prototypical. The Con-Cor cars were a great start though. I took those cars, cut off skirting, modified window arrangements, tinted the windows, had a friend at a local hobby shop paint them and then I applied Phase III decals. I feel like they came out pretty good and wanted to share them with you, since I got the stuff at your store. Just as a side note (I've told you this before, but I know you have tons of customers), I grew up in Albuquerque and was a affiliate member of the New Mexico Rail RunNers in middle school and high school then a full member when I turned 18 till school (and dating) took up all my time. Most of my modeling skills I learned from the NMRR members. If you want more pictures, or pictures on a layout, we have a show coming up. You should consider coming out to the Saint Louis area for a show! Thanks and have a great day! |

George
Hollwedel of Austin, TX swears that he took this shot on 03/17/04
but I think
his camera had too much green beer.
The actual caption sent to us was: "Union Pacific Railroad
announced today that it has
reached agreement to acquire United Airlines and begin a new
heavy-haul freight service
which is to be named "Centennial Airlines." The
1st prototype will be released in
Omaha, Neb. April 1, 2004." |
