===[[Pioneer Zephyr]]=== This article is a collaboration between myself and [[User:Vaoverland]] about the first successful diesel streamliner on American railroads. We've included information on the train's design, construction, revenue use and legacy. [[User:Slambo|slambo]] 17:27, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC) *'''Support''' in general, good work. One little thing though; As much as I liked seeing a model section, I don't think there should be incomplete lists in a featured article. IMHO the section should either be more-or-less completed or removed. [[User:JYolkowski|JYolkowski]] 21:10, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) ::Thanks. There have been some brass imports (into the US) of this trainset, but I can't seem to find my copy of ''The Brown Book'' right now (which is really the only reason I left the expand_list template on it). I've seen lots of websites where a modeler has scratchbuilt or kitbashed a model of this train, but I didn't think that would really be appropriate here. However, when the Fine N-Scale Products model came on the scene at the NMRA National Convention in 1996, it caused quite a stir in N scale modeling circles. [[User:Slambo|slambo]] 03:19, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC) *'''Support'''. Clear language, jargon has been explained clearly or links to insightful article. Never knew there was so much to say about this train. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 09:37, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC) *'''Support''', great article, intresting information, have to love those old Budd trainsets. --[[User:Boothy443]] | [[User talk:Boothy443|comhrร]] 05:36, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC) *'''Support'''. Very informative and '''''comprehensive'''''. This has got to be a record for going from nil to featured (just beating my [[Great Lakes Storm of 1913]] :)). <span class="plainlinks"><small>[[User:Brian0918|<b style="color:#000000;">BRIAN</b>]][[User talk:Brian0918|<span style="color:#555555;">0918</span>]]</small></span> 06:28, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC) *'''Support''' the original "Silver Streak". Of many railroad articles on WP, this is one of the more exciting and interesting stories. I've seen the exhibit in Chicago, and what I learned through this article did a nice job of filling in some blanks for me. I'll bet that some WP readers will be more likely to want to see the exhibit and the 2 movies after reading this article. Zoom!! Note: I contributed a small portion to this article after I ran across it through [[Ralph Budd]] on DYK, but I didn't start it. [[User:Vaoverland|Vaoverland]] 08:51, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
