Sorry for late reply.....was doing dinner.
Yes that looks like it.
Price is good......they are $29.95 direct from Pentrex plus post etc.
Myself.....think it's a great DVD if you like DRGW.
The main film has 10 sections covering from Denver to Salt Lake City and Denver to Pueblo
plus Pueblo back West.

Hi Richie
I have got the BumbleBee one but not he Steam in the 60's
I have got these: 'Rio Grande Zephyr' by Madness of Iron distributed by SPV in the UK
Also 'Moffat Route' by Madness of Iron distributed by SPV in the UK
I have asked the seller if they have another copy but if not perhaps we could swap some time? I have the facility to archive DVDs onto hard drive.

:wave: Here's the California Zephyr, in its Amtrak 2009 guise. The UP engine was on for the diversion through Wyoming. :applause:

Hi Gavin
Looks like an SD70ACE. The Genesis locos have had a little trouble hauling the CZ and have had to have a 'helper' on more than one occasion.

Back in August UP 1989 piloted the Zephyr from Salt Lake City to Chicago after one of the P42s failed.
Here is a pic of this train on the Big Ten near Denver.

I have one of the 100 sets of the Pioneer Zephyer that Roberts' Lines made back in 1989. It is my favorite train to run. I put Gary Raymond ball bearing pickups on all the trucks and it runs smooth as silk. I have also put a cab interior in it and one in the rear observation car. The train is all metal with a big Pitman motor, it was made in Korea.

Hi Jerry
I have seen your lovely train on another forum. It is good to see you on this one! It is a beautiful object :love: .
One day perhaps Aristo or even USAT will make one eh? :thinking:

I'm looking at scratch building another coach for it, just for grins. Still need to do the interiors of the rest of the coaches I have right now though. Getting some seats cast. I did mold/cast the seats for the observation car.
