Tampa Northern OCS
Author: SALGUY

I've started working on an OCS for my freelance road, The Tampa Northern. Let's take a look at 3 cars that are currently under construction.

From bottom to top. 

Broadway Limited Track Inspection car, with Union Station Products fluting applied. 

2nd car.  Seaboard Air Line SunLounge.  Three of these were built in 1956 by Pullman Standard for service on the Seaboards Silver Meteor.

Third car. This is a Pullman 10/6 sleeper that was built using a Union Station Products SAL kit. 

There will also be a Rapido 10/5 Pullman Sleeper and a Rapido 3/4 Super Dome car as well.

I'm on the fence about a twin unit diner, also from USP.

HEP will be provided via a Walthers SAL baggage/dorm with car side vents, roof top exhaust and 2 generators applied inside the car.  

I'll post additional photos as the projects moves along. 

This shoold make a very impressive OCS train for The Tampa Northern.

Interesting plans you have for your office car train. Nice to see the Union Station cars in assembly.
