Wyatts dad posted:Has anyone looked into the scale heavyweight passenger cars? They seem a little scarce to me. Other than the gold ones... Who's bright idea was that?? Yeah let's go drop about two grand in coin for my "scale" "gold" train set. I mean how out of touch is the engineerig/developing dept? I bet that's a big seller! Laughable.
Last November, I went on a mission to buy the PE heavyweight passenger cars to attach to my Pere Marquette Berkshire. It was not easy finding them. I found a number of used ones from one seller on Ebay but each wound up being sold for north of $200. Decided I didn't want to pay over $200 for used ones. After searching many Lionel dealers on the internet, I found 6 at the following dealers: Mr. Muffins Trains, Trainworld, and HobbyWorks. 2 Coaches and 1 baggage from Mr. Muffins, 1 Diner and 1 Obvservation at Train World, 1 Combination from HobbyWorks. I found a new PE Express tender on Ebay. Couldn't find the broken toys car.
