Thanks.
I had a KCS ES44 already, so I just got another in Southern Belle to lash up with the first and the "nude" to triple head it...
I have a few Daylights...a GS-2 (4-8-4), GS-4 (4-8-4), and a 4-4-2 Atlantic, and 16 passenger cars to follow them.
The Southern Pacific Daylight, along with the Jersey Central Blue Comet and the Southern Crescent Limited, are the prettiest trains to ride the rails.
Enjoy the Standard Gauge--beautiful stuff. I always say I am going to get a nice Standard gauge train--then I get to the train shop and see a bunch of O Gauge new arrivals and the standard gauge goes out the window.
I tend to run modern day, full scale diesels with 30 or so cars behind a lash up...but I may put the Daylight on today and take some pics!
Enjoy.

That is exactly what I do when I say "I need to get some of the new stuff, learn Legacy, and build a layout." I'll find some nice stuff at an auction and out goes the train layout money. Take some pictures of the Daylight - those aluminum cars in that paint are the best Lionel aluminum passenger cars (IMHO).
True postwar is a good buy right now, cheap for everything but mint with perfect boxes or rare.
