Walthers Ho Scale UP 1960 "City of Los Angeles"

In the spirit of the BigBoy Steam Train doing his excursion, this 22 car golden beauty pulled people and fans of train travel from city to city. From the views of the half dome diner car to the comfort of sleeping in first class cars, this train had it all. Excellent coach seating and passenger domes where adding for more enjoyment, within the streamline era of trains this Train earn a name above anything else. COLA was not only the name of a drink, but an wonderful trip across this land of freedom

Excellent presentation my friend, I own many of the same pieces, but you figured out a way to install a red warning in the Observation Dome. Outstanding work inspiring me to do the same in all my Walther's Dome Observations. Point of accuracy, The Dome Observation Lounges only lasted about a year (1955-1956) at the end of the COLA. They were then shopped with a diaphragm being installed and the rear windows blanked (Plates welded over) for mid-train operation. Walthers has also produced this "Mid-train Dome Lounge". Suggest you obtain this car to improve the "1960" accuracy. The car then ran approximately the middle of the train coupled to the Dome Diner. The Dome Observation Lounges were not returned to their original appearance/configuration until the 80's - not all were returned. Thanks again for a Great Effort!!!
