In the February 2015 issue, there is an article on the Wickham Park Railroad. In the specs, they

state the scale as 1:29. Yet, the article contains a photo of open vestibule passenger coaches.

Where did they come from ? They don't appear scratch built but I can't find anyone who offers

these in 1:29 scale.

Jackson & Sharp
Posted by Handy Andy on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 10:06 AM

When I was a little boy, I lived a few years in Springfield, Ky.  It was at the end of an 18 mile spur

from the L&N mainline at Bardstown.  Every day except Sunday, an SW1/NW2 would arrive towing

a string of boxcars with an open vestibule passenger car at the end.  It resembled the Jackson & Sharp

coach offered by Accucraft except that it was standard gauge. Therein lies the problem.

I cannot find this coach offered in 1:29 scale. Does anyone know of some obscure party that might

offer this beautiful creature ?
