There is an report that Amtrak-California's operators are going to lease the never used Wi Talgo sets for service
in Ca. Built in Milwaukee Wi to that state's specs,the sets were rejected by gov Walker,stored at Milwaukee Factory
untill moved to Beech Grove for safe storage,there were reports that the sets were to be leased by MiDOT for that
states services.
Since the failed crush test at Nippon's factory in Rochelle Il.,the 2nd gen Surfliners ordered by Ca are delayed
untill a new car design passes the FRA mandated Crush test.
This is an european design that might be in HO/OO in europe (Spanish?)
Should be fun where the sets are in service!
