Eric - this does not look like a three rail scale car. Can you assure us that this is available in O scale three rail?
Very nice.
That is a car that I would think GGD could produce. It was used on more than one road, UP, CN&W, SP were a few.

Excellent question, Bob. Erik posts lots of FANTASTIC photos of passenger cars here on the 3RS Forum, but I bet most, if not all, of those pieces where/are not available in 3-Rail or 3RS. Darn shame!
Darn Shame is right...
This is yet another fabulous HO Coach Yard piece. Fred Hill is certainly a passenger car geek no doubt.
You could produce this car in any scale but extruded will not work unless you can figure how to do all those rivets!
Neat historical car, riveted Alcoa aluminum.. similar construction to heavyweights except in the NEW-new-better the NEW lightweight materials! LOL
Notice the heavy collision posts in the rear end.. WOW. They must have been concerned about a steam locomotive at track speed shredding the aluminum into raffia!

These are beautiful photos, but they really should be labelled at the outset. How about naming the thread "Photos of beautiful HO models"?
Reminding us that HO does it so much better is so hurtful. I think I am going to go cry - no, wait a minute - I can convert to HO myself!

A reason why you do not see many ACF passenger cars in O scale either; yet.

I was reading the comments and studying the pictures, then I realized that I was drooling! This car is one of the best O gauge models I've ever seen! I can't wait to see more cars produced commercially in this good of detail!

Well, it's actually HO!
