Reply to "Frank's Roundhouse KMT"

Mark said: "IIRC, Frank’s were approx. the size of Williams boxcars, right? I had a 6 car set of NY Central PCMs, all diff. numbers, that I ran behind a Lionel 8477 GP9. Good lookin’ train."

"Good lookin' train"...absolutely. Their slightly larger size works visually with the 5' gauge track that we use.

Actually, to be more correct, Williams boxcars are the size of Franks. Frank's came before Jerry's. Williams, it seems, bought the tooling. Somebody else (Kader?) has them now.

HSD: That's a very nice collection of B&O cars. One of my grandfathers worked for the B&O. He gave me the Lionel 6468 blue automobile car for one of my early birthdays. The brown/red ones are the ones that we all saw in real life as kids. Finding a brown 6468 for a reasonable price (under $150.00) is difficult. I've been trying for a few decades.
