Re: PC: Re: PC Passenger car book

My 2 cents
Passenger trains are used as a nuisance on my layout, something to get in
the way of the way freights and keep the through freight engineers on their
toes.  Since they serve no other operational function on the layout, (Plus
my PC era is post Amtrak) detailed passenger cars would be low priority.  I
have a couple F40's and some Amtoobs, and they make me happy for what I
need.
