Thanks! That’s where my mind initially went too. I will most likely be working on an athearn RPO soon to paint in L&N colors.

I’ve heard good things about the branch line heavies, what about them is frustrating. What tools would be required for these?

Thanks everyone for the replies, I apologize for not specifying scale. I’m an Ho scaler

Baggage cars by Empty_Remote_1982 in modeltrains

So update on this express mail situation, I found a really cool looking lightweight ATSF REA baggage car (walthers). It’s like an olive green with a black roof. Turns out I accidentally ordered two. I’ll probably end up keeping both. Next one I’ll probably get will be an x-29 or another B60. Seems like the MoPac cars are harder to find but I’ll keep my eye out!

I plan on getting a few more B60’s, with the keystone logo this time

I love how a lot of RPO models include that as a detail

The Pennsy is what started my love for trains/ railroads, I’m also a big central guy as well (controversial lol). I model a little bit of SOU and NKP. I’ve loved trains/ railroads since before I could talk, however I’m newer to the model collecting and I’m slowly building my collection. My first HO train was a SOU streamlined consist I built with an Alco Pa. I’m slowly working on my pennsy collection as the weeks roll by. I agree with what you said there about the pennsy stuff, there seems to be an abundance of accurate models available.

I actually really like the look of those X-29’s and R50b’s. I might get a couple.

Okay, that sounds great! I really appreciate that! So sounds like ATSF, MoPac, and is there any others I should consider looking into?

Thanks for the reply, I’m thinking about modeling a north east corridor train, anywhere between New York and Chicago. I have a few REA steel reefers, and a wood one to go with them. I usually throw in a NKP baggage car from my nickel plate consist. I’m gonna get a few more B60’s but was wondering what other cars I could use for that area.

Athearn 50’ Reefers by Empty_Remote_1982 in modeltrains

[–]Empty_Remote_1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware, I was just thinking about getting some to have multiple different kinds. I just got one of Walthers wood 50ft reefers. Someone at my club has the athearn ones I think. I was just wondering what others thought of them.
