Re: Central City trains

Hey....#71 doesn't look too bad. The gon still makes me sad. When the second tourist line operated in Central City for a short time in the early 80's, they used the gon as a passenger car. Thats why the "door" is cut into the side. Some of that lettering looks like mine from 1974????? We repainted it to use in a Frosted Mini Wheats TV commercial filmed on the railroad. The train was locomotive #44, the gon and the combine. Rick Steele painted the combine a short time before they filmed the commercial. I think it was that same year that the same train was used for a TV special with Chicago, Charlie Rich and Ann Muray!!!!
