If you are willing to a little painting, Nicholas Smith Trains In Broomall, PA has the undecorated kits with lights.

Thanks, Rene. I thought that was right, but that's why I asked for a higher opinion.

Just keep checking E-bay, they come up from time to time. Just have to be patient when it comes to out of production items. Besides you never know when B'mann will reissue them.

   Have fun with your trains

To comment on Robert's comment: No, it's ok to post if you've been looking for something and can't find it. If a forum member has the items, they can email or PM the poster privately.

Thanks everybody, but they still haven't found their way to my layout yet......Was just trying to be as clear as I could with a description of what I'm looking for.

....and as a side note, I don't think it's against policy here to tell people you're looking for something. I mean, once it's found, yall can handle it off list. I might be wrong. Maybe Rene will chime in and let us know.

These are the Bachmann Jackson Sharp cars (circa 1870's?) in G scale, 1:22.5. They are a bit earlier than the Aristo Sierra cars (circa 1890's?) in 1:29. The prototype for the Sierra cars is in the B&O museum in Baltymor Wink [;)].

"A set of the Great Northern passenger cars, that Bachman made awhile back, similar to Sierra cars I guess."

 

Totally different kettle of fish, boys and girls.

These are standard Bachmann passenger cars painted GN.

I have had a half-dozen through here, parted with all of them (I think).

As hard to find as the original yellow UP cars, of which I've had 5 or 6.

Don't limit yourself to a "set".

Get what you can find, extras can be "trading stock" for what you need.

Yes, I currently have 26 of the USA streamliners in GN alone, the ones I'm trying to locate will be for my inner lower excursion loop that is visible in the last two shots, and they are the shorty like narrow gauge Sierra type cars, say, maybe only 16-18 inches long, not like the 32-33 inch streamliners. I'm using mainly 5 foot radi curves on that loop. Wanna pull them with an Aristo 'ROGERS' steamer.

Byron, USA trains makes several GN passenger cars. Ridge Road Station may have what you are looking for.

Folks, I 've just read the policy on advertising, so I'm not sure this would be proper or not, if so I guess it will be removed. Any way I'm looking for something, for a while now. A set of the Great Northern passenger cars, that Bachman made awhile back, similar to Sierra cars I guess. Empire Builder paint scheme. Can they still be obtained at all.....Now if this is improper, just say so, it'll never happen again.

Thanks all, Byron
