I saw the pic tonight at the LHS, its more then likely the Glacier View, full dome theater car.

i dont have the issue, but, will check it out the next time im at the LHS! looks very cool!!!

not sure, when did the issue come out? couldve been a special, or, couldve been mistaken for a few cars they have that are ex commuter cars, bought and rehabbed by transisco tours, and bought by BN then rebuilt again by BNSF!

found the sleeper! It is an ATSF ex 4-4-2 regal sleeper, this model is built for the SFRHMS. This car will match the cajon, Raton, Donner, and Rollins Pass cars for the set. http://atsfrr.net/store/Sides/Regal.htm

Im looking for a sleeper close to this, http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1554198. I dont know how to tell what kinda of sleeper it is by the windows, the arraingment is the same on the other side also.

Very nice lot! Unfortunatly the Athearn cars would take too much work to rework them. Thanks for the offer though!

Been highly interested in seeing the theatre car myself, no pics can be found! I was looking into redoing the skirting around the trucks on the kato trucks to make it closer the prototype. Not quite sure how im goin to do it though. And id like to redo the back end of the platform railing to...

I had posed this question on a yahoo group page sometime back, and thanks Josh for the help! Im now starting this project of building a small fleet of BNSF business cars. So far have 1 car, and 2 on order. Im not planning on making dead on exact models of each car, but looking for reasonable...

thanks for the pics! Funnelfan, I see the locations, did you place the load first, then mount the chains? looks like 4 on the rear, 2 sides and 1 across the front? Also, you placed them in the middle and side channels? Thanks

the IMRC cars come with plastic chain links with the pretensioner attached to tightin it down. I ve been looking for pics to study locations and such, but, no luck so far.

I finally picked up a load for my intermountain flat car. its a caterpillar 950g endloader. how do I add the chains that come with the flat car to secure the load/ i also picked up some balsa wood to trim down, and use shoe dye, to chock the wheels. any pics would help alot! thanks guys

Last night dumped 3 of my athearn trinity hoppers to the floor at the club. Well, 1 is going to make it, another is being rebuilt with parts from the other one. Luckily its goin pretty well with the main bodies being intact, its all the A end on 1, and the B end on the other that got mashed up...
