I have a couple questions about the MTH Blue Comet passenger cars.
How accurate are they?
To convert to 2 rail, is it just a matter of changing to MTH 2 rail passenger trucks?
Is there a mounting pad for Kadee couplers?
Thanks.

I am not aware that MTH offers ANY correct, SCALE length, passenger cars.
All of the premier passenger cars are 18" and generic.
Gentlemen, Thank you.
It looks like I have some research to do. But that's part of the fun.

No one has offered correct plastic models of the Blue Comet passenger cars.
However, the length of the MTH passenger cars it pretty close for most of the Blue Comet cars.
The Blue Comet consist was made up of older cars refurbished for the new train. None were standard heavy weight passenger cars. In fact the diners were the only cars with six wheel trucks and they were steel clad wooden cars.
If you are looking to put together a "pretty close" Blue Comet Consist the MTH two axle wooden beam passenger trucks would be a good choice for most of the cars.
Thanks Ted.
