Wanted: Burlington Zephyr dome coaches, Various NP and GN...

Good observation:  I have both, 28 in this picture + 6 MTL F-7's and 2 AZL E-7's. You can't see much in the picture but I've darkened the sides on a few MTL's to match AZL's darker green. ...I did it with a thin film of oil.  The faded roofs look prototypical as part of an AZL + MTL trainset.

Thanks, Jeff

I did this in 2019 ...when the AZL first hit the market.

I took the roof off the MTL bodies and rubbed them with an old oily terrycloth (part of a towel)

Then I buffed them with a t-shirt and re-assembled everything.

At the time, it looked really good to me!  Now you can hardly tell...

I did it because I did not like the scale of the AZL baggage cars and much preferred the MTL.

You know how hard it is to upload a good picture to this forum...

Anyway, I've been in the hobby so long that I have a ton of MTL (and Marklin) passenger cars.

The Marklin are mostly collector pieces, now ...but still run MTL and filling in the missing ones.

I have to say that AZL did an excellent job on the Budd cars.  Perfect scale size, too!

I'm focusing on those from now on. 

I need   Silver Buckle #4735     #72106-1

and       Silver Brand #4736      #72106-2

I'll pay a premium to get them, too!

FWIW: Who knows if AZL will rerun Burlington???

I do know they won't rerun Golden State because  Rob said so... But I have all those!

Thanks again

Rory

Evidently they are ALL sold out...

I did, however, order the Pere Marquette train set that was in my cart from last year!

Thanks again!

....Still need the Dome Coaches
