3rd Rail or GGD B&O C-15 baggage car?

I seem to remember it up for reserve a while ago on the 3rd rail website as a brass offering. I could be mistaken as it may have just been something that received a lot of discussion as a potential on the forum. I don’t believe it was ever made.

GGD has made plastic B&O reefers in that paint scheme.

I had one of my C-15 cars on display at the Sunset / 3rd Rail booth at York a number of years ago. Scott decided that rather than him doing it I should do it on my own. I had forgotten about the project but need to revive it.

As I recall we were going to price the cars around $350 each since they would be custom made. I know a lot of B&O guys were interested. However, being interested and purchasing are two different things.

My car is absolutely correct for a C-15. I still have the pattern for the very unusual trucks. The B&O had 100 of these express cars and I used to see them all the time on passenger trains running through Baltimore. I even saw a photo of one of them that was painted B&O blue and gray with yellow stripes although all the ones I saw were painted solid blue with a single yellow stripe.

Please put me on the list of those who will buy a C-15. Just like Scott's list, placing my name on your list means I'll buy it when produced. John Mateyko in Lansing, ILL

Bob...

1) If you do the C-15 and the $350 price point is close to reality, I'm in...of course.

2) Deb and I have a new family addition, Sophie, as of this past Friday...to keep Millie company (at least that's Sophie's relentless plan.  Millie's not so sure so far!).

3) I'd like to think we'd see you and Scott in October (York), but we had to give up the motorhome.  MI to PA ,  "Visite des Halls", and back is hardly a day trip.  Ergo...

Someday.
