Hey, those RI E units a beautiful, too! Seeing those BUDD passenger cars inspires me to research the order number for the six cars the M&StL purchased from BUDD. The six were almost identical to the coaches the NYC ordered for its "New England States". The M&StL received its cars in 1948 for $100,000 a copy. Dave Engle sold me what can become the basis of an M&StL gas electric. All I need is the coach to hook behind the GE car, and I'll have an M&StL passenger train. Maybe I can even uncover a KINSMAN vestibuled baggage car somewhere, build it, paint it Pullman-green, and letter it for the M&StL. Most of the M&StL's baggage/express cars were wood with steell underframes and remained in the standard green paint as long as they operated. Anyway, it's fun to dream.

What paint finish is used to get that stainless steel gleam? Bud Rindfleisch ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
