I would like to have the matching MTH Observation car but a Lionel California Zephyr would do also.

Welcome

What brand name are you looking for? Is it Lionel or MTH or Williams or Atlas, they are the largest players.

Have you checked out www.choochooauctions.com?  If it is a Williams unit, Marty at Ma & Pa Junction can help you.

Here I am again with another newbie question about a mistake I made when I purchased a O scale California Zephyr passenger set.  I didn't realize that it should have been a 5 car set but I only got 4 cars. I am missing the observation car.  I am not a big collector but I do like to have complete sets. This set is absolutely beautiful and I would love to complete it.  I have exhausted Ebay and the web, does anyone else have an avenue I can take to remedy this situation.  The buying of trains is a lot more complicated than I thought..  These cars are aluminum so I just can't use any observation car.
