Thanks, Jon! A few years ago, when I decided to "back date" my layout, I lamented the fact that there were no wood passenger cars available in the 68' rangelike those the B&M had in its "Splinter Fleet".... just those awful looking B'mann old-timers, the MDC 36' Overtons, and the 50' Overlands... all much too short. However, the 50 footers looked promising as bash material so I experimented and was able to bash two 50 footers into one 70' coach (that two feet is hardly noticeable!). Eventually, I got carried away and found myself with 15 of them! The 4 door combine required two of the combines to build but.... I just had to have one. The other combines, of course, were bashed from just one of the MDC combines and a coach. They were fun and easy to bash. Here are some more of them. The four-trucked "business car" was done on a whim with spare parts left over and a desire to have something "different".
