Ma & Pa Coach 110

I also have a COmbine that is half done....284. I need another set of Ma & Pa decals before i show it. I ran out of lettering.  these cars are painted and lettered after the style of the RPO at the B&O Railroad Musuem in Baltimore, MD

I may need to get one of the Ma & Pa 4-4-0's I dont think #27 will beable to handel the work load i have planned. (I have the Bachmann made Caboose)

Also I made a video(which is already out dated!) about a week or two ago with all the locomotives i have(some that are unpainted/in parts were not shown) and you can see that here:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=JghzFlNeLpg

Tell me what you think!

Are these not the MDC/Roundhouse kit cars? Nice job with the painting and decaling.

Watched the video, impressive collection.

They are Con-Cor(which look like Rivarossi molding to me as they had the Rivarossi truck type mounted couplers. I body mounted EZ Mates onto them.

No knock on the fine work.  Just for information, an outfit called Westwood made a kit that built both a Ma & Pa coach and baggage car.  This was back in the late 70's/early 80's.  They are definitly of the craftsman variety, especially the roof for the coach.  Might keep and eye out on E-bay.  There was also a brass set done by Gem, also in the 70's.  Last one of those I saw was the set I sold when I moved to On3 about 25 years ago.
