GG-1 Sold
Other than lack of funds. - If I had cash, I’d go for that NH set for repaint into the NS OCS train.
I’ll buy the ten (10) passenger car set if you have a cost effective way to get them to Arkansas (or reasonably close).
If they were MoPac I’d probably drive there to get them.

Jerry, these ten cars can be insured and FedExed to you for $60.

Hi Tom,
My mistake. I was not aware that USA made two sets of PRR coaches (Broadway & Congressional). I had assumed the cars were brown and would go well with my AML PRR K4 but the stainless steel Congressional are too modern for the K4 steamer.
This has nothing to do with the price or shipping (it IS a great deal) but I need to pass after all.

Hi Tom,
My fault. I don’t know much about the PRR and I guess I’m in the perhaps 10% who the GG-1 does not appeal to. I got the USA “Armor” Yellow UP coaches to pull with the USA Hudson (OK I know UP did not have any Hudsons) and they look great so I thought USA PRR Brown coaches would look great behind an AML K4 (at least I think I got the K4 right).
OK. I just got it…
You meant Tuscan Red (not brown). Yeah! I think that is what LGB calls my LGB coaches and I think the other LGB coaches are supposed to be “Brunswick” Green but while I did go to the Strasburg Museum once I gotta tell you the coaches sure look brown and not red to me but then I’m just an old guy who likes to play with toy trains.
No offense meant.
I will say that I am really impressed by the USA coaches that I have.

If I had the passenger yard space (empty siding) I would probably buy it even with the GG-1 & silver coaches but I am gridlocked and if I buy anything it means having to sell something else to make room for it.
My wife said I cannot have one more inch of the house (and this time she meant it).
She would probably hobble after me on her unbroken left leg to beat me with her walker.

The GG-1 is sold. Can the thread title be changed?
