My SOTW is some Texaco tank cars. I worked for that fine company.

My SOTW are 4 Mantua ATSF aluminum streamliners - Baggage, combine, dining car and sleeper. All are lighted, and the baggge car is also a transition car with one knuckle coupler.
I think these cars outclass the new, prototypically correct cars produced today

Thanks Barry - I was happy to find these mis-listed on ebay as Rivarossi cars, otherwise people seem to want an arm and a leg for them at train shows. These will track around an 18" curve without looking too funky, with the truck mounted couplers. I found another sleeping car to add to the set yesterday and then I SWEAR I'M GOING TO STOP

Yep George ! I was looking for a set to go with the locomotive. Last week I found it. You can say it came from a Angel. I got it from a dealer I know, and his name is Angel.

| You did one heck of a job on that loco. Doesn't look kitbashed at all.

Thanks George. When you make something you know where all the mistakes are. When you see it once in awhile you can miss them.
* I to believe it came alright.
