1880-1910 passenger cars

MTH makes them in both their Railking and Premier line in various roadnames. The Premier cars are very nice.

Thanks, they are nice, will look them up. I like to scratchbuild them using labelle cars.  

I like building Labelle kits:

I have a 3 car MTH Pennsylvania set that I'd be willing to part with. Since I started building Labelle kits, I don't need them anymore.

They look excellent!

Well done. 

Have not built a pass car in a while; last one was a restore/rebuild of an older Alexander kit....

The Labelle kits build up into gorgeous cars.    I had a few of them.    They were not PRR prototypes, so I eventually sold them off.

Some of the LaBelle cars look to be dead ringers for the PRR Yellow Kid. Would that I had the talent

...and could obtain a proper early D16

Great pics! I love the labelle cars. I want to build a set of narrow vestibule cars using labelle. Just need to find a source to make the brass scroll work for the ends. Never seen these cars modeled. I have a 11 car set of the 1906 GN Oriental Limited and love them! Wish someone had the correct trucks and paper wheels sets

Photo-etch? I've seen drawings of the scrollwork.

Narrow-vestibule cars! Love them as the epitome of elegance.

Back in my HO days I amassed a collection of Westwood kits to make a train. In fact, they set my time-frame for my mythical model railroad.

Neat. What did you use for the flooring material?

Had the same Westwood kits.  I have designs from 1888/1906 car builder books, just need to have the scrollwork reproduced.
