MIY 1191 E 13.15 • in IINIDI , MIY1191 e 13.15 • IN IINIDI �-- . HO Scale T KATO, we're ready to follow our first production of HO scale ACovered Hopper 3-Car kits by adding six new roadnames to our lineup. Last year, the field reports from insiders said our Covered Hoppers were "prototypically accurate, extensively detailed, precisely molded! and crisply painted and lettered." One national writer even said the KATO Covered Hopper would be "an excellent addition to [any] roster." After quick and easy assembly by the modeler (what new prospect doesn't require a little hands-on work?), these new liveries are destined to be your MVP (Modeling Valid Prototypes) candidates. The new names join the league in April or May, making stops at fine hobby shops across the country and around the world.

The Superliner cars are also available in N scale from Con-Cor, and life-like and Bachmann offer the F40PH loco­ motives as plastic models. Overland Models has a complete N scale Amtrak II train including the P42 "Genesis" diesel. American Models offers the F40PH and the Superliner cars in S scale. Part I, in the April 1998 issue, included information on modeling the Hi-level cars from any era using Train Station Products kits. There's an index of previous articles on modeling passenger cars on pages 28-29 of this issue.

    - come ons out to alifornia Across the desert wasteland, over the sun-baked plains, the magic of the name California leads you on your way. Here the sun habitually shines. Near the coast flows the broad equable ocean current, from which a tempered breeze sweeps overland every morning, every night to return from the cool mountain tops. This is the California summer, cool at all hours, by the sea and in the mountains. Many esteem summer as the most desirable time of the year. But California is even more inviting during the winter, for at this time of year you may sit upon almost any veranda in the lowland country and lift your eyes from the variegated bloom of gardens to the far-off horizon buried in snow. To be out all day in the careless freedom of perfect weather; to wander through gardens and orchards; to gather flowers from the blos- soming hill slopes; to explore a hundred fasci- nating retreats of mountains and seashore—all this is permitted the year 'round in California. Nowhere in the world will you find a vacation paradise with more facilities for recreation con- centrated in such an accessible area. Whatever your favorite sport whatever your favorite way of just plain enjoying your- self. California offers it on a grand scale and in the grand manner. Sunshine—mountains—seashore— California's greatest attractions Play along:„ -the blue pacific Because of the proximity of ocean and desert, California is both warm in winter and cool in summer. That is why the blue Pacific plays such an important part in the vacation life of this region.

  • X S F G Q B N BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners Pullman-Standard Plan 7551 Dome Coach-Parlor-Lounge [Part No
    x S f G Q b n BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners Pullman-Standard Plan 7551 Dome Coach-Parlor-Lounge [Part No. 173-64] Three railroads took delivery of eight P-S dome cars in the period 1949-52. The cars were: B&O 550-551 "Strata-Dome" 42-seat dome coach-lounge (low profile dome canopy) Plan 7551. These two cars were repainted and renumbered as Amtrak 9420-9421 in the early 1970's. Missouri Pacific 893-95, IGN 896, T&P 200 "Planetarium" 42-seat dome coach Plan 7551-A. MP 894, 896 and 897 were sold to the IC in mid-1967, becoming IC 2210 -2212, respectively. Wabash 1602 "Blue Bird" dome parlor-drawing room Plan 7551-B became N&W 1602 with the 1964 merger, and it went to the Central of Georgia in 1968, followed by service on the Southern, still with the same number. In the spring of 2008 Brass Car Sides received encouragement and essential reservations for the production of N-scale sides for these cars from members of the N-scaleVarnish group on Yahoo.com, moderated by Jerry M. LaBoda. A smaller number of reservations for the HO version followed and this set was released in mid-2008. These sides are designed to be used with the Con- Cor model of the P-S dome lounge car patterned after the Santa Fe "Pleasure Dome" corrugated-side lounge used on the Super Chief. B&O or Amtrak modelers wishing to simulate the low-profile dome canopy of that prototype may find that modifying the Con-Cor car is still a worthwhile approach.

Taylor http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.100 BRIGHTENED MANY A LIFE AND BEAUTIFIED HER OWN, THIS BOOK OF DAYS OF SUNSHINE IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY HER RELATIVE AND FRIEND. CONFIDENTIAL. THE only care-free, cloudless summer of my life, since childhood, was spent in California. The going there was a delight, and the leaving there a regret. This gypsy of a book has few facts and not a word of fiction; not so much as a dry fagot of statistics or a wing-feather of a fancy. “How do you like California?” was the daily question, and to the uniform reply came the quick rejoinder: “Ah, but you should see it in the winter, for the summer is in the winter.” The writer sympathizes with any reader who misses what he seeks in this small volume, and can only soften “the winter of our discontent” by saying: Ah, but you should know “what pain it was to drown” what had to be omitted! Perhaps we two may meet again in the groves of Los Angeles, when the oranges are in the gold and the almond blossoms shine. CONTENTS. PREFACE.

Hobbs Passenger trains in California provided adequate schedules in several markets, much of it unglamorous and utilitarian. The carriers maintained a good quality of train service. There was little competition in the local operations, each represented in a distinct market segment. Transcontinental traffic was another matter, with three railroads competing for a share of both the Chicago to Los Angeles, and Chicago to San Francisco business. The innovations demonstrated in 1934 with the M-10000 on Union Pacific and Pioneer Zephyr on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy not only proved the viability of the diesel and distillate engines in high-speed service, but also modern lightweight construction techniques. By 1937 the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe all introduced streamlined trains into service to California. UP City of Los Angeles May 15, 1936 (1 consist) UP City of San Francisco June 14, 1936 (1 consist) SP Daylight March 21, 1937 (2 consists) ATSF Super Chief May 18, 1937 (1 consist) The Daylight , with two consists, provided daily service between Los Angeles and San Francisco along the Coast Line. Santa Fe and Union Pacific offered one “sailing” per week, on fast schedules, in addition to the existing heavyweight trains. Within another year several new trains were inaugurated, many of them streamlined. The Santa Fe Chief became the first daily transcontinental streamliner, replacing a heavyweight train of the same name. Both the Union Pacific and Santa Fe introduced classy economy transcontinental trains. The Santa Fe El Capitan was all streamlined.
