Hmmm, I'm tempted to buy the B&O sleeper just because of it's name. Has that car ever come close to the shores of Lake Superior?

Well...um...."Hey Joe, ol buddy....Now, you know I'm down with the faux CPR heavyweights; I'm there; I support the idea of using stand in's for Canadian cars...I really do.... I'm ok with the fact that the R Series sleepers were 8-1-2's, not 10-1-2's...I mean, who except me and handful of CPR nerds would know or care eh...? But maybe, just maybe the fellow that writes your ad descriptions could have checked something.... The R series sleepers were not running on the Trans Canada Limited until the 1980's.....The TCL died a horrible death in 1931 after only two seasons running and never re-appeared..... The R series cars, built in 1929 ran on the flagship "Dominion" and on the SOO Dominion, The Mountaineer and on regional trains like the "Kooteney Express" but the Trans Canada Limited....?  And as for the 1980's...only in MOW service ...anyway, nice car, well done, on to the next one I say......sorry, just had to mention it. ;)

Regards..Mike

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Me either, still waiting for some CBQ to go with my RPO.  I am thinking the next coach is more in line with what the Q ran so here is hoping!

definately in for teh C&O Boxcar and DT&I Gondola. The C&O painted some cars Black with white stripes to denote them in a specialized service. Can't remember for the life of me what service. Maybe Auto Parts.

Those B&O cars look sharp. Might have to make a B&O passenger train
