Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on January 7th, and had a good day operating my usual my Legacy Acela set and expansion pack, but also my Lionel GE Demo ES44AC with 16 of my freight cars. But I ended up deleting all the main video files of the Acela off my SD card when I thought I transferred them onto my computer. So that’ll have to be redone next time I have access to the blue line. I was also joined by @sdiv_tim that day as well.
One of the NS and one of the BNSF gondolas have loads in them now, which look quite nice I think. They’re made by a guy on eBay by the username of “jacklynliv.” The loads are kind of expensive, but if you take into account they’re handmade and I think that makes the price justifiable. I can highly suggest these; they’re made well and add some fun detail to your Lionel 65’ gondolas.
