Good thing they’re also doing the later paint scheme, but I’d be interested to see what ‘deskirted’ means as to the extent of modification.

I was told Coach Yard or a brass dealer was taking reservations at the national train show in KC (I didn’t make the show) and they had 50 or 60 reservations already. Was also informed the train set was $6,000 excluding the E-3a. None of the online ads show the pricing so I can’t verify any of this.Am glad the Bagnell Branch passengers are content with riding in a Mopac bus. 😥
September 12, 2018 at 1:32 pm #9022Bud MossParticipantHopefully some idea of the differences between the original and 1950s version will be forthcoming as The Coach Yard’s plans come together.
What I wonder is who might be providing information to Coach Yard? I was of the opinion the MPHS had a person who worked with companies. Perhaps not. But wouldn’t it be worthwhile for someone in the MPHS leadership to contact them?
I realize that brass is expensive, as it has always been. However with the Texas Eagle, Colorado Eagle and Delta Eagle already done, the Missouri River Eagle, in two versions no less, is kind of the crowing effort. I’ve been hoping for forty years for this train to be done. All I hope it that Walthers doesn’t do it six months later!
Note too, that you do not have to buy the full trains. Individual cars are available. Charlie mentioned a $6,000 price rage. I take it this come from recent MSRPs for such trains as the UP City of Los Angeles ( an 11-car train). Regardless, it will be expensive. But it will be magnificent!

September 12, 2018 at 7:55 pm #9035bargetanikaParticipantI though the Bagnell Branch passengers rode in the drovers cabooses. If they are riding in a bus, I’ll be more than glad to relieve you of those cabooses! 😆 😆 And help you clean out the cabinets 😆 😆

Who produced the Delta Eagle? PSC has it in their future projects, but canceled it just before the announcement of their sale. I don’t remember who picked up some of projects, but the Delta Eagle was not one of them.
