Hi All:
I'm looking for a Bachman 'old-timey' 30' flat car ...
Anyone out there have one or know of a source ?? ...
This is for a friend in Australia and he's exhausted all leads Down Under ...
Thanks a bunch,
Pepper

Try the Bachmann Babes, as those who go to Greenberg shows often call them. They are on FeeBay as 'sunnyswarehouse'. If they do not have one posted, send them an e-Mail or 'ask seller a question' about one.
If that does not work, and your friend is willing to wait, remind me in August, when a Greenberg comes to the Washington area, and I will buy some.
There is another FeeBay seller called 'favoritespot', or something similar, who also specialises in B-mann. I do not know if he has any of the nineteenth century stuff.
I do know that the Bachmann Babes have those cars.
Hello,
I use the search:
old-time*
in N Scale on "FeeBay", every few days some of the old time cars tend to show up.
The favoritspot has the old time passenger car with 4-4-0 loco set for sale, but I don't believe I have seen the freight cars. The old time coach and 4-4-0 loco look like a good match for the wild-wild-west train, the baggage car for w-w-w need to come from somewhere else. I am bashing one of the flats into a work train car for the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad (small coal carried from western Maryland).
Happy hunting and modeling!

Yes, Sunnys is definitely the place to get old parts or even stocks. I do not know about any 30', but in an old catalog of mine there is the 34' UP flatcar with Stakes, and also a CP version. The number is 53-1051-1 and 53-1051-24
Try look it up on the internet. I actually saw a few awhile ago in *bay. Not my cup of tea but definitely look very fun to have. Most of them are CP by the way.
