Most available cars seem much more recent. What did steam era cars look like?

Atlas has a bunch of steam era freight cars and some from MTH & Lionel as well.
And don't forget Canadian steam was still running until the very end of the 1950's.

The now out of production CDS dry transfer lettering line offered a large and very interesting array of CN and CP locomotive, freight and passenger car lettering sets. Needles to say the former owner was a Canadian. If you were to put a want to by listing on the OGR forum and the O Scale Yard Sale group listing you are likely to get some hits.

I can replicate your train except the piggyback and the car behind the tender. What is that car?

Keith,
I believe that is a Canadian National Express Boxcar, Lionel 6-27250.

Thank you Arthur for responding to Omans question. Yes that is a recent Lionel offering and the Piggyback flat is an MTH offering.
