Subject says it all - what passenger cars do you run with your new GGD Rock Island E6 A or AA.

If you got the new Rocket train you could pull those (specially Peoria) as the E6 helped the RI with the Rockets in the 40's and 50's... Heavyweights are possible too... 3rd Rail's E6 are too beautiful to put MTH or Lionel cars behind them tho....
My E5 holds up next to brass!

Thank you. Unfortunately, the RI is a secondary road on my layout and the E6 diesel is my only RI engine, so I won't be getting any of GGD's Rocket sets. I do want scale 80/85' passenger cars to go with the E6 but I can't find any. The 18" K-Line Golden State set is nice but not what I looking for (plus without the domes it is kind of short). Really would like all silver RI lightweights if there have been any produced (would consider 18" cars if that is all that's available).
Ron,
Sharp engines for certain. I have to imagine you can find a decent set of cars that make YOU happy. I have a couple of powered RI F units from Atlas that I love, but I haul freight on those.
Enjoy your trains.
John
