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.
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 ?
