Excursion cars

[Hamish K]

The Bachmann home page is advertising the HO Jackson and Sharpe excursion cars - will we ever see either type of excursion car in On30? I know that kits are available from other manufacturers but some people prefer ready-to-run.

If there isn't sufficient demand for a ready-to-run excursion car, I would recommend the made-in-the-USA kit from Mount Blue Model Company <www.mountbluemiodelco.com> designed to fit the Bachmann passenger car chassis. From the Mount Blue website, click on "rolling stock" and scroll down 24 "add to cart" buttons to see the excursion car photo. On your way, you might discover a caboose or two of interest. I have no connection with Mount Blue Model Co. other than being a satisfied customer. The kits are easy to build and all make use of various Bachmann trucks, couplers and underframes.

too bad they don't have anything like the Jackson & Sharp excursion cars Bachmann offers in HO available in On30

O is so large it's not hard to scratchbuild stuff with styrene.  I don't know why you couldn't make new sides and ends for an existing Bachmann car, plus a floor and interior with Grandt Line or similar seats.
