Burlington Route Budd Car Recommendations
Posted by MooMooHolyCow on Thursday, January 30, 2020 9:12 AM

I'm trying to get recommendations for two things:

1) Burlington Rouge decals that go on the stainless steel Budd cars. Simply say "BURLINGTON" up top and "Silver Dorkus" and a bunch of other stuff down at the bottom.

2) Trucks for said cars, preferably with the coupler arm installed already that will also do electrical pickup.

Thanks tons, in advance.

I see you are a new forum member ...... Welcome ! ! ! 

!. ..... Microscale sells the decals you want. 

2. ...... I can't asnwer becasue I do not want couplers mounted on the trucks. I suggest you avoid that because couplers can jiggle up and down and uncouple while train is running.

Hi, Welcome aboard! Welcome

Always glad to see passenger rail topcs. Questions: What brand / type of passenger cars do you have? Can you post photos?
