Dining china replicas
Posted by Lillen on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 5:08 PM

I hope this is the correct forum for this?

 

I was just thinking after watching a DVD about old dining cars and private cars that it would be fun to have some dining car china replicas. They sold some in that movie at a train show so I just thought that maybe their is an Internet store where such things would be available. I'm looking for B&O china.

 

So if anyone knows anything I would be very happy for that information and help.

There are always advertisements in the back of "Trains" and "Classic Trains" magazines for original and replica RR china.

     Haven't been there in a long time, but B&O Museum used to sell B&O china in their gift shop. Don't remember if it was original or reproduction. IIRC they used to sell stuff by mail order.

I checked the issues that I got(I started this summer) and I couldn't find any. Do anyone of you know or be able to check for those ads?

I want to say that Pipestone produced reproduction Santa Fe china in the Mimbreno pattern. A friend of mine bought a bunch a few years back. I am calling him tonight and will ask him about it. I realise it ain't B&O, but it may interest someone.

Edit: here you go.. http://www.pipestonechina.com/prices/mimPrice.html . Somebody did some Katy stuff too. I don't know much more about that though.

Thanks, do they have any website addresses in those ads? I don't subscribe to Trains, only model railroader and classic trains.

 

And, thanks very much for taking your time finding this for me. I really apreciate it.

Thanks, I checked out your link. I found it yesterday while I was googling and it's the only site that so far have come close. To bad it wasn't B&O. I'm really interested in the B&O so that is my main focus. But still, thanks a lot for the help and taking the time.

I'm not aware of anyone offering repop B&O china.The original manufacturer did some for the historical society years ago.Maybe they feel it would diminish the value(BIG$$$) of the originals.

If there are no dogs in heaven,then I want to go where they go.
