Catalogued in 1980 as 'The Texas Zephyr' and only showing an 'AA' lash-up and five cars, I added the 'B' unit and the additional car to make it my own 'Twin Cities Zephyr' which ran from Chicago to the Twin Cities via Aurora, IL and La Crosse, WI. My consist includes the following:
-No. 6-8054 Burlington F3 'A' Powered
-No. 6-8062 F-3B Dummy
-No. 6-8055 Burlington F3 'A' Dummy
-No. 6-9576 'Silver Pouch' Baggage Car
-No. 6-9577 'Silver Halter' Coach
-No. 6-9578 'Silver Gladiola' Coach
-No. 6-9579 'Silver Kettle' Vista Dome
-No. 6-9588 'Silver Dome' Vista Dome
-No. 6-9580 'Silver Veranda' Observation Car
The lead engine has two motors and traction tires. There is no Magne-traction, horn, or bell.
All cars but the Baggage are lighted

Yes the Burlington Northern definitely ran freight trains along the Mississippi route. I watched a green switcher work from my hospital room in Lacrosse probably around 1983. Technically they still do. The BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) still runs that route. I enjoyed the video Ed.

Many Thanx Ken, I appreciate your support! Sooo, it's safe to assume that prior to the merger, CB&Q freight trains were operating on those same tracks. That means I'll feel no guilt in getting some CB&Q freight to run! 😄

Beautiful consist Ed. You really researched this train

@Ed-ICE-Berg 3 дня назад

Many Thanx Jub, much appreciated! I was surprised to hear that one of the Zephyr's ran through Wisconsin, and apparently the CB&Q ran freight along the trackage fronting the east bank of the Mississippi, so that gives me another option for running other than Milwaukee Road trains.

I like the chrome F3’s in “ABA” configuration. But too expensive to purchase. So I created my own double A’s both powered (4 motors). I striped the shells and painting first gloss black followed with chrome paint over that. All done with air brush except the pilot is a chrome wrap. The aluminum frame is just highly polished. I don’t care about road names so mine is bare, no name just chrome. I see these chrome units on line in the $300 to $700 range. Too rich for my pockets.

@Ed-ICE-Berg 3 дня назад

I got the two 'AA" units and five cars all for under $700 (the 'B' unit and one of the coaches I bought separately) but I did notice the asking price for just the engines is through the roof, so yeah re-painting a less desirable engine would be a good option.

@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 5 дней назад

I know where one of these are, he will not move on the price, I bought a couple of really nice sets, he will not budget on these.i will have to pay his price if I want, I like it.

@Ed-ICE-Berg 3 дня назад

Guss, it's a really good set. Even though the engines only have traction tires and no horn or bell, the cars are all aluminum! Quite unusual for the MPC era.
