beautiful made passanger set of a famous new york central train. complete with all the necessary details well done
Hi Dana, enjoyed the video. I would like to know the name/artist of the background instrumental music that accompanied the video. Thanks for your time, Rick W. Kraus
Dana's audio descriptions would be better than on-screen text. The set looks beautiful and an essential acquisition for those who model Grand Central to Buffalo operations after 1941. The cars look great behind the new P2 electric, although the streamlined Hudson would be less expensive.
Read the MR review. Much better detail than this video. Great looking set. Completly agree with the diner comment.
good lookin set
I would have liked to have seen more night time running and side views of the close coupling appearance. This video was pretty short compared to the great job usually done. It was tough to see around the informational banners…
Ditto.

It would sure be nice if MTH would make it easier to add more parlor cars to this set and not have to buy a second diner–of which the Empire State Express only ran one.
Instead, the add on cars for the 1940 Century does not have a second diner which the Century almost always ran two of up until the twin-units arrived in 1948.
Not to be critical, but you might want to fix it so it doesn't mention the observation care interior.
