I like those cars as well Ken. Although, for some reason I keep thinking the General should be pulling flat roof cars (e.g., why I got the Hi-Ballers). But, you look at what old photos can be found with 4-4-0's, and they're pulling Overton style coaches with the clerestory roof. The above photo is the combine I have (rehab of a used one) and I have the coach in pieces to be redone (used one).

Very nice. My COTW is a Tyco/Mantua 1860 coach.

Thank you. I definitely like them. They feel very good quality and they look good on the tracks with my Rivarossi 4-4-0.

Don had wanted to see what these short coaches looked like when providing a consist for the Mantua Mogul. These short cars do seem to be odd ducks, although apparently there are prototypes for them.
The coach with the "circus" colors is the used one I got recently that needs some rehab. The locomotive has hook and loop couplers, the combine Kadees, and the work in progress coach has no couplers.

Ken I like your die-cast Combine also. I had the same thing made by Laconia years ago. Maybe the same.
