Modeling the modern....

....is not generally something I care much about. I'm moved mostly by the things I see in museums, not Silverliners. And yet.....when I saw this website, I have to admit I felt a bit of a twinge. I've climbed on a Silverliner at 30th Street more times than I can count - and their dinginess always feels a few steps removed from the weary wooden coaches I love, or even the South Shore car I rode as a young boy, back in 1982, when they were just weeks way from the deadline.

And yet....seeing these, it's hard not to think of what you could do with them, and how they would look on a model of the Northeast Corridor.
