Thanks for your responses. I realize the Golden Gate Depot cars, as well as any car over 18 inches would not work on my layout. But I wouldn't be satisfied with a 15 inch car, nor would I want to run a car a GS-4 with Southern Pacific (not Southern Pacific Lines) on the tender wouldn't have pulled. I don't think this engine ever had a baggage car, an RPO car, or a vista dome in its consist. I believe that limits me to a combination car, chair cars, a diner (not an articulated one, of course), a parlor car, a tavern car, and an observation car from which to choose. I don't need all these cars and I don't expect any of them to be truely accurate. The chair cars and the observation car in the MTH set would probably be fine for my purposes. I'd like the remaining two cars in my consist to be a combination car and either a diner, a parlor car, or a tavern car; but it seems I'll have to settle for less.
