@@troyb1733 thats ok, It certainly would have made things easier to tell the two trains apart if Ringling had changed the color of the banner under the window sills. At one time, the red unit train also used to have a red pin stripe under the windows, but they did away with it in the late 90s.

The cars depending on which one you might be interested in take a considerable amount of time to produce due to my busy schedule.

So the stock cars and coaches are all Walthers products, while the flats (not including the wagons and loads) are all Athearn Genesis. I custom built the entire train meaning none of it looked like that when I bought it. Every car was broken down to the bear frame, rebuilt and repainted the same way Ringling rebuilt their own cars.
