I'm planning to include a back-and-forth electronic circuit that will allow push-pull trains and RDCs to shuttle back and forth on this section of my layout, but I have to work through some other projects before I get there.
Ah, but you have to be careful, If I'm thinking of the right RMC article, those were Comet IV cars (with notes on Comet IIIs). The Walthers models are VERY generic Comet II type cars. They are a little different from each other. they still look good though! I'm wishing i picked up some IHP Comet III kits when I had the chance. I might hold out for Comet I cars, since they fit a little better into my modeling schemes.
In the future, i plan to do a similar automatic operation, maybe with my PATCO cars (the prototype is also automatic, so i guess that works to!).
By the way, is this the decal set you need? scroll to the bottom of this page- <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://islandmodelworks.com/M2.html">http://islandmodelworks.com/M2.html</a><!-- m -->
