Missed Opportunity

[glennk28]

  Nice ad on the back cover of Classic Toy Trains--the FM Train Masters.  Unfortunately, you missed one of the larger fleets of TM's--Southern Pacific.  SP ran theirs weekdays on the San Francisco-San Jose Commutes--and on the weekends in freight service as long as they were back in San Jose by Monday morning.  Their performance was fantastic.  Two paint schemes were used.  Initialy the "Black Widow" then the red and gray "bloody nose".  Typical rush hour train was a pair of TM's, 8 double deck "gallery" cars, and four "Harriman" arch roof heavyweight coaches.  

Hope Bachmann considers this in future runs.  gj

I more favor the "Bloodly Nose", but the "Black Widow" scheme is pretty cool. But as all suggestions, taken in for consideration. No worries, someone has to have made it.

An SP commute woud be a great train set.
