Hi Folks, Gerry Siegel, in association with Pennsylvania Heritage Models (http://www.paheritagemodels.com/), is considering producing a short run of the North Shore's Electroliner, a four car, double-ended, articulated interurban streamliner. The Electroliner ran over interurban tracks built to main line standards and entered Chicago on elevated trackage with its sharp curves. The sides were curved inward at platform height for this purpose. This train would look good running by itself even without overhead or catenary wires.
Here are some links about the Electroliner: http://www.cera-chicago.org/downloads/digiarchive/Bulletin%2022.pdf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27GwxWis-2g http://railroadglorydays.com/Northshore/ Tentative plans call for interior lights, reversing headlights on the two end cars, and all powered trucks. Interiors, poles and DCC at $50 plus the retail price of the chip were optional extras. These could be offered in kit form or RTR. You will be able to order the set, if produced, with hi-rail as well as scale wheels. Custom painting to reproduce the distinctive Electroliner look is also a possibility. Since the Electroliner is roughly equivalent of four powered RDCs, the low side of the current estimated retail cost for the set is $1500 to $2000. If you are interested in having an Electroliner, please contact Gerry directly at cgsiegel at embarqmail.com. David Guillaudeu S_Scale_Traction group ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
