Browsing around looking for some C&O heavyweights, to go behind my new Mikado when it gets here, but can't seem to find any that are reasonably priced. The K-Line Pullman 5 car set looks really nice but it isn't C&O. Any ideas or suggesstions?

You might check out the C & O Historical Society.
I know that they have things produced for them,
albeit mostly in HO scale,but possibly get some ideas.

They also made Madison type cars, third shelf down on the right.

I don't think the K-line Pullman cars would be a bad chioce bahind your C&O mike, if your wanting too haul passengers with it. The C&O cars were Pullman green for many years particularly behind steam such as trhe "George Washington." I'm not sure when The C&O changed to Blue, yellow, and silver. You'll be ablw to run almost any road name with the Pullman cars and the K-line cars are beautiful. I saw them this weekend at the Cincinnati Greenburg show. Western Depot has the special 6 car set.
