This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

New GHB RDG CRUSADER SET 11 years 5 months ago #535

Allan OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 60 Thank you received: 14	How do the cars look on this set? I have seen a car only offer on E-Bay, which would make sense with my FP7s. Thanks.

Rick Abramson OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 58 Thank you received: 1	The cars themselves look beautiful. The interior illumination and markers are well done. If your layout has super-elevated curves like mine, the cars might derail. There are pins on the body bolsters at the 9:00 and 3:00 positions where the car sets on the truck bolster. It makes the car totally rigid, and reduces greatly the play in the trucks.

VCtrainmaster OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 106 Thank you received: 12	The shop crew has just readied sister engine #119 to pull the crusader since #117 has broke down. Engine #119 holds a speed record so making up time should not be a problem.

FYI--I don't go on the Con-Cor website very often but somehow ended up there today. The have a limited number of the 5-car Crusader passenger car sets (cars only, no locomotive) for $299.99, shipping included. Given the positive reviews of the cars on this forum, I thought this was a pretty good deal for us diesel era guys. My order went in a few minutes ago>

BTW--Were the Crusader car trucks really blue?

Have a Happy Holiday Season!--Dave
