New York Central System Streamliner?

I was in restaurant the other day and saw a photo on the wall with a streamliner locomotive from the New York Central System. It looked real good. Are there any paper models of those available?

If you find one, let me know. Those streamlined Hudsons were awesome.

Didn't find any paper models but there's lots of pictures if you Google "20th Century Limited", and quite a few YOUTube videos too.

Rickstef,

Thanks for the links. If that had been the Lionel passenger set, I would have bought it. I spent the majority of my HO life making freight stuff and then, about 10 years ago, I switched to passenger trains and never looked back.

I have a simple one in book form with several other famous engines. I'll have to dig it out and take a pic to post.

Canon has a GG1 Electric, but I have not seen any North American streamlined steam engines in paper (other than the one that Rickstef found). The GG1 is an extremely detailed model, however. I have it in my hard drive as a "someday" model.

I've always wanted a paper model of that train too. Great design.

Found it. "All Aboard" by David Juniper. Very simple, but large, models of Mallard, a streamlined J-Class Hudson, GWR's "Windsor Castle", and an Orient Express Mikado. Each also comes with one coach. Still available on several sites, Amazon has one starting at US $0.71! Again, very simple, press-out and tab assembly models, so we still need someone to design better, more detailed versions.
