The Pioneer Zephyr made a wide circuit in its 1934 promotional tour. Actually more of a 'zig-zag' which included a good bit of NYC and PRR trackage. One of the Morningsun books (I believe) has a photo of the 3 unit set under Pennsy wires near Trenton and Heimburger's book on pre-War streamliners has an extensive list of station's visited. "Zephyr" was simply a name the CB&Q applied to their fleet of trains, similar to CRI&P's "Rockets", UP's "Cities" and the Milwaukee Road's "Hiawatha's". The Twin City and Mark Twain Zephyr's were also shovel nose articulared Budd train sets. Most of the other named Zephyrs were non-articulared, although the original Denver Zephyr had a shovel nosed locomotive, all the cars were independently coupled. The three advertised shovel nose S scale models should be in our hands by the end of April. The sample has been cruising our local club layout several times. The painted, LED lit car interiors are really pretty nifty, but then again I'm hardly a neutral observer... Jim River Raisin http://www.riverraisinmodels.com The poll results are in.......
