Thanks for the great Viewliner link.

The video showed something that I never ever knew about the Viewliner. It had a working Mars light on the front. It can be seen moving back and forth in the video from 0:23 to 0:25.

So who is going to take a MTH O scale Aero-Train and make a !/24 scale Disney version!?!?!??!

Here's my PRR HO Aerotrain running at a friend's house. Would have been nice if they made a Viewliner version. This is a Con-Cor and it took a lot of legwork to finally get one that was in decent shape right out of the box. Those guys have a lot to learn about quality control.

Yeah, my experience with Con-Cor has been that they even have trouble getting the lid on a plastic box to fit reliably. Although they have produced some very nice *looking* stuff of late.
