Title: Metroliner
Post by: shurlock0 on February 07, 2015, 08:10:39 AM
Since you now have the molds for the Metroliners. Any chance of making a scale Metroliner?

I'd love to see them too! And maybe a close to scale catenary system as well. That would be great!

JP of Acton MA, USA writes: Interestingly, Williams produced an early version of the Metroliners in the 1990s.
I have a 4 car set of 1990s era Amfleet cars. These cars use the same shell as the Metroliners, but don't have cab ends, decorative horns and pantographs. The roof of the Amfleet cars have studs plugging the mounting holes for the decorative horns and pantographs.
Perhaps someone on E-Bay might be selling the 1990s Metroliners.
It would be interesting if WBB produced the Metroliners.

I wish Bachmann would make the Metroliners and the E 60's again. Maybe they can just make the shells and pantographs and we could scratchbuild.

If they do hopefully Bachmann will improve the pantographs, the original Williams pans were very flimsy.
