Hello All, I am still on hold being able to acquire the Teak cars of the Flying Scotsman, but I found these, new in box, for $5 a piece today. I just don't know exactly what they are, from what prototype era, and what kind of loco (and where) they would have run. One is a "Parcels Express, and the other a compartment car of some sort. Any ideas--CFK, if you are out there--help!

| I can not comment on the "parcel express" car. But the compartment car looks like the ones I rode on in Italy and Germany. I only saw them in use on "long haul" passenger trains. I rode from Germany through Austria and into Italy. And then the return trip. Did that several times a year. But I didn't pay much attention to the car markings I'm afraid.
