Thanks guys. My trains are in boxes on 2 different floors, thus it is sometimes hard to match things up. Here are the Golden State Rock Island passenger cars that go with the diesels.

Ah, the Rocket. I had one for a while and burned up its little
Tri-Ang motor by running it for hours on end at train shows.
Lovely little gem while she lasted. I was told that this piece
is actually in Sn3 and marketed as HO. What say?

Barry, I'm trying to remember whether you did a topic on building that open passenger car. It seems familiar.
It's similar in concept to what we use for passenger service on the Silver Creek and Stephenson:

| Yeah Don, I did post a build on that, maybe a couple years back. Looking at the picture now, I see some things I'd do different. Biggest thing is finding passengers. Maybe I'll have to reduce the price of a ticket.
