Let’s see your Budd cars!

OK, here they are, in situ...

3rd RAIL Scale 3 rail NYC RDC / Budd

I love these cars, I collected all three offerings. Lionel PW, MPC and Celebration Series!

S Scale clones of Athearn HO RDC's by American HiRail (minus the rubber-band drive...)

Here's another.

Budd built two of these baggage/coach/dinettes for the B&O in 1956.  Named "Speed Liners"  they were used in DC - Pittsburgh service.  For a while, RDC number 1961 held down a weekend run from B&O's junction with the NY Central into Detroit on weekends, to preserve B&O's  rights over the NYC line until it ended Detroit service in the late 1960's. Other than a few rail fans who knew about that run, there were hardly any passengers.

Where are the "Galloping Geese" or similar self propelled units?  There must be some out there!

You hit on one of my favorite cars. I have several Budd cars.   ;-)

Several pw, Canadian Nationals, Amtrak, Service Station B&O sets, both reissue of the pw sets. 

Here are my 2.....

OK.  Only the first two shots are mine. With Little Wally at the controls of a Railking consist.  The next two belong to a guy named Andy Muller.  And the last shot isn’t even a Budd car, but a Budd ruler.  I suspect the ruler came from either my grandfather or uncle who both worked for Budd.

As we all know, I am constitutionally unable to leave well enough alone:

MU and RDC cars.

And these must be the children!  

With their babysitter.

Some Jersey Central Budds on a Saturday afternoon! 

This Budd was a B&O dummy unit.  I painted the truck assemblies & added the PRR decals to match the 2 units of the RMT silver truck PRR Budd cars that I have.   D.

A Budd car is one engine that I do not yet have on my layout. 

I am waiting for a PS2 or PS3 version of CP or CN to be realeased by MTH. I once had an opportunity to purchase a 4 car CP set, an MTH PS1 (it looked awesome).  I was concerned with the cost and practicality of converting it to PS2, so I did not purchase. I have not seen anything close since.

Still looking and waiting for MTH to release a CN or CP Budd RDC in PS3
