ROCK ISLAND IN OKLAHOMA 1958-1980
TRACKSIDE ON THE
per portion of the window. All of this detail really shows when
you apply power to the tracks. The car comes fully lit with interior lighting that is warm with a slight blue-green hue to it. It looks exactly like the light would through those tinted windows. The marker lights, drumhead and bulls-eye light also light up. I did find one thing a bit peculiar about the light- ing, though. On my particular car, the drumhead was lit up with a red LED while the tail light above was lit with a clear LED. I think that somehow at the factory the two LED’s got switched around. The SP used a red light on the roof. At any rate, that would be an easy fix for most of us. I tested the car and never saw even the slightest flicker be- cause of the excellent electrical conduc- tivity through the trucks. I can’t even imagine how great a whole train of these cars would look.
The performance of this car is exact-
ly what I was hoping it would be. It ran around a friend’s layout without de- railing or uncoupling. The lighting stayed constant and the car’s adver- tised 22-inch minimum radius is true. Actually, the car made it through some tighter curves, but I would not recom- mend doing so regularly. The car is correctly weighted and rolls freely, and the operating knuckle couplers operate flawlessly. It is really good to see a manufactur- er paying such close attention to entire passenger trains like Broadway Limit- ed has done with the Morning Day- light; the cars are sold available indi- vidually so one could add to the train as their finances permitted. The work that went into researching this train and then modeling it has definitely paid off. The result is a model that tru- ly captures the feel as well as the look
