Hi Joe,
I've got the engineers car from the MOW and it sits well behind the Connie. As I have said before mate, the eye of the beholder!
It's actually bigger than Bachmanns box car but sits well with their centre cupola caboose. The MOW is a good car to put behind the loco and then follow it up with other Bachmann, you don't notice the difference in scale so much then.
Cheers,
Kim

Thanks,

I've been looking to get some of the MOW series for a while now, albiet I have many questions about how they would look with the rest of my stuff.

Again, Thanks

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

A different question...

The USA trains MOW series, can it be used reasonably with Bachmann 1:20.3 stuff.

Opinions?

We at GR haven't heard anything. On their web site, it says "new releases" but does not say if it's out: http://www.usatrains.com/usatrainssd70mac.html
