Running my custom 1688 with Marx power pulling U&R Mfg Pennsy coaches and a std gauge beer run.

that's great Steve. I don't belive I have ever heard of U&R.
Thanks Steve. I’ve owned some but never ran them so this is the first time I’ve seen any U&R cars running.
And for the benefit of Dave and others, here’s a link to more info on U&R:

thanks Bill. just great...something else to the gotta have list!
Looks great Steve! Love the beer cars especially. I'm thinking about a Sam Adams unit train now! Race car set fits right in.
Always looking for more but they are usually misidentified. There are no markings on them. I have a set of silver NYC cars also.
They were very intelligently designed. There are no fasteners holding them together. The shell is held onto the base by the hand rails, That's it. Access to the handrails is via a large hole on the bottom that is also where the truck assemblies snap in. The Lionel trucks and Thomas Mfg couplers are attached to a large conduit plug, then snapped into the whole.
