My SOTW offering is this set of 4 (2 coaches, 1 combine, and 1 observation) TYCO Amtrak passenger coaches. I managed to score all 4 from the same seller for just over 20 bucks total for all 4!

I love those vintage Amtrak coaches, and they appear to in very fine
Shape. They will be exciting to see behind the G, although you may
be happier yet to drop a second power truck in the G and low cost and
with a high dividend.
Seems I read that Tyco Metal Sharks had a similar option to increase
utility.

It must be coach week!
Heres the main passenger consists on the ridge.
You can take a ride on the stylish OnTrak Ecpress, usually powered by our favourite blue F7-A "Cody". This train stops at Blaxland, Fontana, The CSX transfer station, and on weekends it changes over to the CSX short line spur to Bigg City.
Your next option is the commuter. Not as luxurious, or fast, as the OnTrak express, but still a nice ride, especially with the fact that it crosses the senic trestle to Hypoluxo, this train stops at all stations: Blaxland, Fontana, Hypoluxo, and the transfer station. This consist usually has the Blaxland presidential coach at the end, as shown, for higher paying passengers, and is usually pulled by the 0-4-0 Shifter "David" who is currently in the works, so "Maverick" the GP40-2 will be pulling the train.
Hope to see you on board!
