Lets See Your Passenger Cars

Mid 1920's American Flyer Baggage, Coaches and Observation. Still in service at almost 100 years old.

Here's my scale Dreyfus Hudson, as much as I can get into a frame, that is...Dependable and good looking, it's my favorite.

I had these done for the wife. She wanted passenger cars to go with her L&N engine. It was the freight paint scheme. So I had a set of passenger cars painted the same as the engine...........Pics...............Paul 2

Sure, Tom. Jim Elster's Scenic Express sold them, decades ago. He had them somewhat stained, initially, and I added more grime and shading; then, the foliage variety. They are interlocking vertical panels.

Some Atlas aluminium cars that I purchased at York. Beautiful quality and operation. I added some internal details based on our trips taken on the Canadian in 2010-2016. The Diner meals are miniature plates with actual meals printed to scale.

The three sets of passenger cars I’ve got currently. 3 Marx 6” cars, 5 Ives 70 series, and 3 modern era 027 Lionel streamliners

Here are some MTH Amtrak Phase IV heritage and amfleet passenger cars.

Good lookin trains here guys!

Here is my MTH S-2 (Loco-sound. Soon to have ps3 upgrade) with my MTH 60ft streamlines.

A  pre-1950 C&O consist. No specific train as it I need to build a baggage car and diner, however, I just upgraded the 3rd Rail Greenbrier with a Cruise Commander and ERR sound. Nice improvement over the old TAS EOB.

a few from my favorites pile

back on the old club layout at Union Station we could run 14 car scale passenger trains on 72” radius track. Miss that place. Here I tried to put together a Orange Blossom Special 🍊 

my Key 1941 A/B/B 3 unit set COLA power with a mixed bag... sort of cool but the scenery it’s running through dated from the 1940’s! Cool! 

my favorite is the Royal Gorge and Prospector ... 

over the Horan (John Horan) founding members trestle built in the 1945

roger Lewis’s spectacular Wasatch Model Co. Union Pacific passenger cars. Amazing! 

love my Daylight!

ugliest man award goes too... 

atlas CZ... great cars.

zoom!

love my 1940 Coast Daylight 

one of 5 built Key 2012 run GS2.. incredible 

love full width diaphragms... so cool 

Prototype is the one with the crew in it. Wasatch Model Co. ball bearing trucks from OCS Microcast  nice! 

finally got to my interiors redoing and simulated upholstery window shades  

I love these cars  a dream to own them since they came into the store.. I could never afford them so when I was offered a chance to do a payment plan and work off the cost with a fellow who traded for a set .. I jumped. I’ve since invested almost as much into upgrades, full interior furnishings with correct colors of shades, flooring, walls, and full dining car silver. Trucks were a huge improvement.. these brass models are heavy and the factory trucks were lead sleds.. 14 of them are feather light to the drawbar now . My GS2 whips em with ease. Thanks Roger Lewis and Mr Oh...! 

that’s the model not real 1:1

Okay...I will go ahead and make my paltry submission behind Rattler21, Erik, Tom, et.al.

I have traded off about 1/2 the cars and locomotives in this 2016 video.

The AT$SF

Here is my 21" Pennsy passenger train.  It will be pulled by my Lionel E7 ABA or by my double headed Lionel K4s.  On occasion I can see using my Lionel Centipedes or T-1.

“Go Blue”! Oh...add a little B&O and Wabash too...🚂

Ron those 21/22-inch cars are beauties.  But, in my opinion the need O-106 min and preferably  O-120 which leaves most of us out.

My 18/19-inch again in my opinion need O-89 min and preferably O-96.

But again your 21-inch car do look great.

Ron

Due to circumstances I have had to pack most stuff up.  But did take some pics before hand.

"The Chessie"

The cars were designed and BUILT for the C&O M-1.  And contrary to some opinion three sets were actually built.  And for a couples of weeks two M-1's and cars toured the C&O System.

The B&O" Columbian"

With a heavyweight RPO car head end car.  Use MTH E6's A-B (powered) set to pull.

When the mood strikes lay down some track and.

And sometimes add some Pennsy cars to the consist.

                           Double headed K4s would be a sight with these gorgeous cars!
