My Personal Plans start with a new table, one that I don't have to worry about the cars falling off the table. I want to incorporate DCC, and try to include catenary as part of the details. I plan on having a 3-4 track main line, a 4 track maintenence area (including a turnaround loop), as well as a 4+ track Union Station. (I'd have at least one more station in the form of an Amshack.) As for trains:
1) Auto Train
2) Pennsylvainian (All Amfleet II Phase IV, flexibility of adding Heritage Sleeper to make Three Rivers)
3) Metroliner (Phase III era)
4) NJ Transit Commuter Train
5) Northeast Direct (Flexibility to run w/ Baggage Car)
6) Acela Express (Expansion Plan at later date, don't currently own a set)
7) Broadway Limited (All Heritage Fleet Consist, eventually Phase III, but phase IV mix would remove above flexibilities, eventually repaint Phase IV cars to Phase III. I only own a Phase IV Sleeper, Diner, and Baggage Car)
And the Best for last
8) Silver Meteor, all Viewliner Consist in Phase III, starting with 2 Viewliner Sleepers (#2300 & 2301 or #2300 and Diner 8400) It would require painting and Kitbashing, probably by a professional. The power for this train are P40's #838 and #803.
What are the plans/wishes for the rest of you for the upcoming year?
