I was at the LHS, The Imperial Train Company, when these beauties were unpacked! Holy cow these are nice. And with local names on the cars. The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Overton Passenger cars. There was a add on baggage car as well. These are sharp looking, smaller passenger cars. If you need some smaller passenger cars and are local to Pittsburgh these fit the bill.

MTH is certainly to be appreciated for their production of a great variety of passenger car types - from these beauties above to the handsome and detailed 60' Woodside cars in many road names, to the several European models through their American Heavyweights and Streamliners including the articulated Zephyr and one of a kind Turbo Train. Thanks MTH!
Hey Marty I didn't know Imperial was your local shop!
If I have a few hours before flight, I love stopping in there whenever I fly out of Pittsburgh since it's very close to the airport.
A Great store!
I purchased a set of green Rio Grande MTH overtons about 12 years ago from a hobby shop in Colorado Springs. Thanks to this thread, I unboxed them for the first time! They still had the dust on them from their time in the store on display.
I bought a Railking circus 10-wheeler last Christmas when they were being blown-out for a future project. Perhaps it'll become a Rio Grande engine.
