Wow! Did you know this one existed. You don't see it often. From what I gather the complete set is made up of the ABA units, RPO baggage car, 3 coaches, 1 vista dome and 1 observation. That's nine shiny silver cars sprinting around the layout. Can you imagine how impressive that must be? Apparently they have lighted interiors, operating doors and sprung wheel journals. I found a couple of sales flyers with a copyright date of 1985 so these must have been offered in the mid eighties.
They were produced by the Dehanes Manufacturing Company of Keasbey, NJ under the product line called "Transportation Milestones."
Here's the order form:
ABA
RPO Baggage Car
3 Coaches (TAOS, ?, ?)
Vista Dome (VISTA CANYON)
Observation (?)
I love that observation car. I think this one and the Lionel Milwaukee Road Observation car are probably the two coolest!
