So to match the many CB&Q Engines that we are producing, we thought - why not produce some passenger equipment as well!!

We have contracted with Atlas O to make these Burlington sets using the same tooling that MTH once owned.

The sets we are making are as follows: WITH RIBBON LETTERING!

4-Pack:  Combine, Coach, Diner, and Observation

The above combine artwork shows the placement of the markings.  The small lavatory window will be omitted from the production run, as is correct for a 70' car.   We are making car #3506.

This is the Dining Car that we are doing.  #178.  The side kitchen windows are filled in as shown in the above picture.  Our car will have the windows "open" so that the cooks don't burn the bacon.
