This car is still at Walkersville, and is used on their dinner trains.

SP #2486 chair car (last I heard it was at the Antelope Valley Model RR Club): That car is former Amtrak 7516. It was used by the model RR club for years when it was at the fairgrounds in Lancaster, CA. A good 15 to 20 years ago, it was moved to a place called Granicy Square in Lancaster. Looks like it is still there.

SP #2988 French Quarter lounge car: Was ex-Amtrak 8701, an Auto Train buffet car. Most recently owned by Phil Sheridan, Novato CA. Named "Sunset Grill" and leased to St. Louis Union Station for use on Polar Express in recent years. Car taken out of lease and put up for sale after death of Mr. Sheridan. Recently sold for use on tourist RR but can't recall off hand who new owner is. Might be New Hope and Ivyland.
