Erie Mike posted:This is new to me. My concern is that I have a chance to purchase some K- Line heavyweight Passenger cars. They are approximately 18" in length. The box # starts with 38- whatever. Are these cars true o scale, thanks, mike
EM, The K-Line heavyweights are a little on the crude side but O Gauge is all about modifications. Check your prototype Erie equipment for dimensions and compare. 18" in 1:1 equals 72 feet in O.
Once you've determined that the cars are suitable, post your own "topic" in the appropriate OGR ON-LINE FORUM (see menu tab, above). To post a topic go to your profile page and click on the BIG BLUE BOX labeled "POST" which is directly to the right of your user name at the top of the page and fill in the blanks. If I can do it, you can do it!
This is a great group of folks and a fantastic resource that you'll refer to endlessly as you grow in the hobby. Would that all this had existed when we were kids!
Best wishes!
