Try this: http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/news/train.htm <br />A simple search revealed it. <br /> <br />Looks like you'll need a colorful 4-4-0, a standard passenger set (MDC Roundhouse's 36' boxcar, 34' baggage, 34' coach, 34' observation, and 34' combine are what you need, but are in kits, you'll have to paint them to fit the funeral train's line. ). Since this was a special train, complete with lots of diginatries, you'd probably want 2 coaches. the special funeral car would be in the middle, so it was probably Boxcar-Baggage-combine-coach-Funeral-coach-observation. <br /> <br />If you look at this picture: http://www.picturehistory.com/find/p/8887/mcms.html you'll notive there was a boxcar as the first car of the train, not sure what it's purpose was. <br /> <br />Then there's this site that's selling a book explicitaly on it: http://www.goldenspike.us/index.html?target=p_215.html&lang=en-us <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Hope that helps. <br />Jay
