Train Doc, Welcome  I don't know much about civil war models but I do have some of the open vestibule cars that were made for the NYC&HRR by MTH.  These cars were wood but are probably too late for your period.  They remind me of the early trains however.

Come on over to the Coffee Pot thread and meet the rest of the guys and swap lies er tales about the Civil War, I mean War Between the States or War of Northern Aggression.  Nothing Civil about it.

Good luck and welcome aboard,

Ray

That's a good one.  I also like Toy Soldier Co., Classic Toy Soldiers and Toy Soldier Depot.  I populated my holiday O and S layout with 54mm Boy Scouts, Firefighters, Police men and Union and Confederate troops.  They are a bit big for O, let alone S.
