Up for sale is a Rivarossi HO scale Gulf, Mobile & Ohio 14-car passenger set, finished in the classic GM&O red, maroon, black, and gold passenger scheme. This is a large and impressive passenger consist with a strong GM&O / Alton Route appearance. The consist can be displayed as a long overnight passenger train, a sleeper-heavy GM&O consist, or a more dramatic streamliner-style passenger train with the rounded observation bringing up the rear. The cars present very nicely overall, with matching GM&O paint, gold lettering, visible passenger interiors on many cars, detailed trucks, and strong shelf presence. It has been stored carefully and has not been run by me due to illness. Prototype History – Gulf, Mobile & Ohio. The Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, commonly known as the GM&O, was formed in 1940 through the merger of the Gulf, Mobile & Northern and Mobile & Ohio. GM&O became one of the more recognizable railroads of the Midwest and South, with routes reaching from the Gulf Coast northward through Mobile, Jackson, St. Louis, Chicago, and other important railroad cities. GM&O’s passenger identity was especially strong because of its connection to the former Alton Route, the Chicago-St. Louis corridor inherited through the railroad’s acquisition of the Chicago & Alton. GM&O passenger trains wore some of the most attractive colors of the postwar era, with the deep red and maroon scheme becoming closely associated with trains such as the Abraham Lincoln, Ann Rutledge, Alton Limited, Gulf Coast Rebel, The Rebel, and Midnight Special. Train History – The Midnight Special. This set is especially well suited as a GM&O Midnight Special-inspired consist. The real Midnight Special was an overnight passenger train operating between Chicago and St. Louis, originally under the Chicago & Alton and later under Gulf, Mobile & Ohio ownership. In its classic era, the Midnight Special was known as a sleeper-heavy overnight train designed for passengers who wanted to board late in the evening and arrive the next morning. The name carries a certain romance beyond railroading as well – “The Midnight Special” became one of America’s best-known folk/blues standards, later recorded by many artists, including Creedence Clearwater Revival. For a GM&O passenger consist, the name has exactly the right late-night, sleeper-train feel. This Rivarossi set should be viewed as a modeler’s / collector’s GM&O passenger consist rather than a strict car-for-car prototype recreation, but it captures the look, mood, and presentation of a classic GM&O overnight passenger train beautifully. Cars present nicely overall. Please review the photos carefully for condition, finish, lettering, glazing, interiors, trucks, couplers, underbody details, boxes, and any small detail parts. Packaging shows typical age and storage wear. Rivarossi HO scale passenger set. Gulf, Mobile & Ohio / Alton Route styling. 14 total passenger cars. Includes RPO, baggage, baggage lounge, coaches, diner, sleepers, tail car, and observation. Both flat-end tail car and rounded-end observation included. Matching GM&O red, maroon, black, and gold passenger scheme. Great candidate for a GM&O Midnight Special-inspired consist. Original / period Rivarossi boxes included as shown. Ideal for GM&O, Alton Route, Illinois Central Gulf, Midwestern passenger service, or custom streamliner layouts. Cars and boxes will be protected to minimize movement during transit.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING. There’s a lot here to explain :. This was given to employees in 2001. I really hate to part with this one, but I’ve never taken it out of the box except to take photos and test it. As seen in the video, everything works. The engines do NOT have sound effects such as a horn or bell like MTH or modern Lionel. Oddly enough, ALL engine trucks are powered and the engines can be MU-ed together. That means ALL eight axles of the two engines are powered. That seems to be a rarity these days. The lead engine (4020) does have an “E” unit for changing directions; the trail engine (4021) does not. This set is for O-Gauge with curves as tight as O-27 and AC current. The test track has O-31 curves. This set comes with E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G it left with from the factory: The yellow ConRail cards explaining the history of the engines and the four cars; instruction sheets for the engines (2), instruction sheets for the passenger cars (4); extra window inserts for EACH car, the rubber doorway diaphrams for each ends of the cars AND the rear ends of each engine (I didn’t feel like putting them on for the photos, but they are there); and extra light bulbs for each passenger car (2 per car). I will include two postcards of the actual ConRail office train before it went to CSX as part of the ConRail break-up in 1998-ish. Small piece of trivia, the ConRail OCS was rated for the Amtrak Northeast corridor – 120 MPH. I picked this up at an estate sale and had it out of the box only for photos and testing. Judging by the wear on the wheels, the engines were used more than the passenger cars by the previous owner. I would judge the engines C-8 / high C-7 due to the wheel wear. The passenger cars are C-8. Check out the wheel photos and please judge for yourself. The main box is starting to show some wear. The individual boxes are in good shape. To be quite honest, I don’t know what this is worth. As I said before, I really don’t want to part with it, but it’s time to down-size my collection. This is a rare set that was only given to ConRail employees in 2001. I’m going to swing for the fences, but in reality. What’s the worst that can happen??? This is a sweet passenger set. I apologize for this, but apparently it needs done. Thank you to those that have informed me of this :. I will be listing more of my collection in the coming weeks. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. I will try to answer them as best as I can. Please contact me BEFORE purchasing if you reside outside of the Continental United States. Contact me if you’re interested. All sales are final. Thank you for checking out my listing. Please check out the other items I have up for sale :.
