Ken:
There are age-appropriate (sort of) coaches for the DRG that go back to the early era by Penn-Line in their shorty coach line (1964 and earlier) in Denver Rio Grande. I've used a rake of four of these for years. They're hard to come by but nice. Other, more recently manufactured and more accurate choices are available as well. I think, but don't quote me on this, that post-1978 Mantua (from whence came Tyco) briefly made their 1890s clerestory coach line in DrGrande. Easiest to get, though, are the Denver, Rio Grande & Western clerestory coaches offered by MDC (Roundhouse.) They are often mistaken as Tyco/Mantua offerings and so get mis-listed as same on internet auctions. They are excellent offerings I employ with regularity (I run a little fleet of DrGW 4-8-0s (like yours) and 4-6-0 "Bumblebees.")
