Already sold but eye-popping anyway...

Here's something to drool over, even though it's already sold:

PS: Doncha think Kato or Intermountain could make one of these and have successful sales? It's SO-O-O much cooler than the Warbonnets or Armour Yellows...

 

Maybe we should beg Walthers to do it as name train of the year?

 

Seems like they're would be at least as much interest in a Texas Special than a Pere Marquette or Alaska RR passenger train?? Walthers did those.

I have e-mailed Rapido Trains in the past when they were producing MoPac passenger cars. I inquired about manufacturing Texas Special cars for this train. The excuse was that it has fluted sides. In my opinion, I informed him that a lot of railroads used a fluted side cars and that the Texas Special ranked up there and surpassed others in the same category and reconsider to manufacture a fluted side car.

Maybe if Friscrg members would put more of a buzz in their ears they would consider manufacturing Frisco passenger cars!

I know exactly why Walthers, Kato, Intermountain et al don't do a Texas Special or Meteor. Those companies are from urban areas (Chicago, Milwaukee, Denver area) and we're the "hicks" from Missouri and Oklahoma! There's always been a snob appeal favoring the big roads: Santa Fe, Union Pacific etc. over poor ol' little broke down Katy and the laughable Frisco that doesn't go anywhere near San Francisco...
