Its still on the Sierra Railroad with the locomotive. Its was built specially for the Sierra RR Angels Camp line due to extreme curvatuers…I think there was a shorty coaches too…MDC made both in HO scale…and I think it was Delton that did them in 1:24. I’m not sure if Heartland or Aristo got the models when Delton folded, I’m sure someone will chime in…

I always liked the look of those coaches! And though I am not sure if they are of the delton molds or not, they look much like the overton coaches that USA Trains makes http://www.usatrains.com/usatrainspassoverton.html

Merry Christmas!!!

Jon,

I believe it was pure luck! I clicked the embed button with the original post open in another window & tried embedding it in the post here. For some reason it worked.
