Any plans for 'Excursion Cars' on On30??

The new HO excursion cars look really nice. Are there any plans to do an On30 version of them? A set of the yellow ones would look really nice behind my yellow & black "Bumble Bee" 2-6-0.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

I agree...some of those Jackson and Sharp excursion cars might convince me to pick up a Forney to go with them... ;)

I, and others, have suggesting these for some time now. To me it seems strange that they are made in HO and N, but not narrow gauge when such cars are common on narrow gauge preserved lines. They were also used on some narrow gauge lines during the days of regular service.

My preference would be for the new ones, one issue with the HO Jackson and Sharpe cars is that the seats are fixed in one direction, making it unrealistic to have the loco run around the cars and run back in the opposite direction.

Dear All,
I'm hopeful, too!
Have fun!

In the meantime  check out Mount Blue's Kit 11 ($22.50) which will convert a Bachmann coach chassis into a similar excursion coach for you.
