Master passenger car (Spectrum)

Hi Guys.
I picked two of these up at a train flea market and was wondering if they are still being made.
Any idea where I could get more.

The two I picked up were a Canadian National heavyweight coach and pullman.

The spectrum pullman coaches are currently not being made, they can be found on eBay pretty often, road names range too, so you might get lucky if your looking for a specific road. B&O, ATSF & N&W seem to be the most common last I checked.

Waltheers Is another choice, those have quite a few roads too, so keep an eye out on eBay and online stores.

GOOD LUCK!

yea, im trying to get some myself, eBay has lots, but keep an eye out for bargains, I've seen quite a few good deals on E-bay, like $15 (that included shipping) for a Pullman by walthers.. just gotta keep an eye out.

Paradise-

If you shop carefully, you can find brass heavyweights for not much more then current plastic models, and occasionally even for less. IMHO, the detail is better, the tracking is better, and you can super-detail or add interiors to your heart's desire. Painting Pullman green isn't hard but some of the fancy color schemes are a challenge. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to paint simple designs but I admit there are some which are quite daunting.
