Have a nice weekend and be safe, Daniel
Daniel, the Grey 763E could have come with the Blue Comet 2613/4/5 cars and 2800 series freight cars which I think you already have some of.
Dennis, I have a blue comet set and no loco to match but they are the first models product and my 800 series freight are older and not period for the loco. I was thinking buying a set of 2613-14-16 passenger cars in two ton green, I find they are very attractive. I have seen some on your pictures and they look really nice.

I agree the Green cars look great behind a Gunmetal loco, they would be a great choice, they can sometimes cost more than the Blue cars because they were only made one year, 1940 so they need to have the 1940 style tall coupler with the simulated knuckle on top and the cars do not have a coupler skirt like the early cars. Just couple of differences to look out for.
