There are some Overtons around. They are of the same period or a little earlier. They look similar, but not the same. The prototype I'm modeling looks exactly like the Bachman.

Thanks for the help

Thank you. This is the answer I was looking for. Now, all I need to know is where I can find that Jackson & Sharp 2 door baggage car in HO scale. I wonder if they were ever produced.

Or is it maybe that HO std gauge = On30 gauge. Maybe that's it. But the carbody would have to be O scale. I guess I'm getting Alzheimer. Darn, I want that car. An impossible to find Jackson & Sharp.

I'm puzzled. O scale is twice as big as HO. Something is wrong here somewhere. Ref NMRA standards.

I'm looking to buy one via internet. Designation On30 would mean O scale, 30" gauge, would it not? A photo with a finger in it indicates that it is in fact HO scale, not O scale.

My question is, if I simply replace the trucks with appropriate HO gauge trucks, would it make an acceptable HO std gauge model? Minor clearance issues would be no problem. I'm thinking more of appearance. Anyone tried this? It's otherwise perfect for what I need.
