American passengers and passenger coaches in the roaring 1920s

Quote from: Michi




I painted 10 passengers which you see here.
I bought another 3 of those Bachmann 0n30 cars, converted, painted and weathered them. I now have a train of 12 passenger cars.
I think it was time to paint a few passengers as well...







Two of the cars were originally combines (combined passenger and baggage cars) that I cut in halves a and reassembled one as a four door baggage van and the other as a coach. The third one had already been a coach before repainting.








I tried to conceal it best I could, but you might still see the cut between the center figures under the freehand painted "R".

Holy Christmas... how long is that train?! Would it even fit all on a table? How does that one smallish locomotive even pull the whole thing?!  lol

Cracking conversion on the four-door baggage car - love it.

Great pj on the passengers, too.
