I am working on building the 2 flat cars to match the photo, long enough to be able to hold 3 - 1/43 vehicles on each, yet look like the flat cars in the 1958 photo here; http://www.7divpnr.ca/node/368
I went hunting around my layout and display shelves and found a suitable collection of vehicles to reasonably match the vehicles in the original 1958 photo. In place of the Cream colored BC Electric badged 1957 Ford Meteor I am substituting a 1949 Ford Coupe by Ertl I added BC Electric decals. (The BC Electric diesel engines were done in a similar yellow saves me a repaint to the BCE bus / car cream color) In place of the 1957 Cadillac 4 door I found a similar shape of a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air by Neo . For the Willies dark green pickup 1950's; I found some on e-bay over seas but rather pricy + the shipping costs, The Neo model available looks very similar in the dark green with spare tire and side stacks; will keep looking for this if any cheaper ones show up, but for now from my collection I am substituting with a 1946 Dodge Power Wagon by Matchbox looks rough and tough like the Willies. For the 1957 Buick 4 door I have a 1957 Buick Roadmaster convertible by Neo. I could not identify the station wagon 5th vehicle in the photo but looks to be a 1940/50's 2 door station wagon, I am using a 1949 Ford Woody wagon 2 door by Road Champs; it looks like the car in the photo, a similar shape. The last car on the flat car is 1950 or 51 Chevrolet or Pontiac, this I was best able to match with a similar color 1950 Chevrolet 4 door by Solido. Here are the cars on Weaver flat cars.
