My first Ho train set was purchased around 1963-65. It was a AHM C&O set that had a BL2 and a Santa Fe style Caboose. I have tried to locate a listing of the other cars in this set, with out any luck. Is there a web site that would have this information?. I have tried HOSeeker. I may not have looked in the right place. But it is not under the AHM listing.



Thanks for any help. John *****************************

Ken,
Thanks, I looked at that information on HO Seeker and just missed it, I guess I'm getting old. $15.00, I most likely had to mow 5 yards for that much money back then. With my young knowledge and skill, That BL2 was a pain to keep on the track. Anyway thanks again I can finish the set now. I may have the cars in a box. If not I will start looking.

Ken,
My old brain gears have been telling me that my first set had more than 3 cars. I was pretty sure that the reason I purchased the AHM set was it had more cars the the other sets in that price range. I looked a little harder and found this on Ebay. This is a detail from a 1965 catalog.



If anybody has a better picture or a list of road names for the other freight cars in this set, I would appreciate any extra help.

Thanks, John *******************************
