Chinese Steam engine.... Help with...

[Chesticus]

My wife purchased an engine from Bachmann that is a nodel of a Chinese engine. I model American, but it is a gift from my Mrs's and I don't give back gifts. So I have decided to use it as a modeling of an "excursion" on the layout. Fun!

1) Does Bachmann make the passenger cars for this engine?

2) Where can I get them?

Thanks

Dear Chesticus,
There are several Chinese steamers operating in the US. They pull whatever passenger equipment is available on their respective railroads. None, as far as I know, are pulling Chinese coaches. Therefore, you can use any passenger equipment from Bachmann, Walthers, Athearn, etc.
Have fun!

Bachmann recently released these excursion cars. They look great behind my Spectrum 2-8-0.

Thanks for the link to the excursion cars. Those are pretty neat.

I was just wondering if anyone new where I could get the Chinese cars that is all.

The first page is in english for the steam engines but not the coach page

Bachmann China has released a number of chinese passenger cars, both single and double deck. Some are listed on the models 11 website if you want a USA source - there may be others.
