I'm thinking about modelling one of the later Empire Builder trains and am after some information/discussion on the subject.
Now, I already have a set of F7s in Empire Builder livery and Kato made what appears to be a very nice set of passenger cars (five years ago ), so chances are good that I'll model the mid-century version. I've found GNGoat.org to be a great resource on both the Empire Builder (love the scans of the original brochures!) and GN in general. I also see that the Empire Builder briefly saw Big Sky Blue, although it doesn't look like anyone has produced this in miniature (I'd love to be proven wrong here). While I'm on the subject, this site has some nice info on the story behind Big Sky Blue. Now, questions-
-What happened to the Empire Builder when the BN merger happened?
-Anyone here get a chance to ride it?
-Anyone here model it?
