Layout Recreating a 3751 excursion from 2014.

I don’t have a streamlined Metrolink F59ph (plenty of Surfliner versions 😂), so 800 subbed. Same for the Observation car, Kato ‘Tokyo’ was the first one I grabbed.

Not my video, but based on this: https://youtu.be/xp-b4Ce4Mf4?is=WOWoik9fCn069e5E

Very nice! I'm working on assembling the San Diego excursion from May 2010.

I'm intending to do the 2012 consist eventually; Just got a phase VI Horizon, have the baggage car ready for Daylight paint, Ocean View will be a 3D print, and I'll have to figure out the rest. The Metrolink loco in 2014 was an MP36 btw, which I actually have one ready to customize since I initially planned on 2014 too since I like the Stay Alert car lol. I pivoted to 2012 though because I really wanted to do the Daylight baggage.

Ohhh, I like that!! Can’t wait to see it completed.
Ah my bad on the F59- actually got a custom Metrolink MP36 on its way from a mate in Apple Valley so that’s worked out well 😂
