Branchline New England States?
Posted by Autonerd on Sunday, June 10, 2018 3:46 PM

Someone on eBay is selling a sealed branchline a five-car NYC New England States set. It includes a coach,  diner, obs, pullman and slumbercoach. Boxes are red and white,  pre-Branchline. I've seen red and white box freight cars, but never passenger cars.  Anyone know anything about these kits? Thx!

  Branchline did sets of cars that they custom painted using OEM cars.  I have a 3 car set of Swift meat reefers they issued using MDC 36' reefers.  They later got into manufacturing their own cars.
