Hi,
Just finished designing and 3D printing the Petticoat Junction Combine. I used MTH 3 rail trucks and wheels for this build. Measures 7 1/2 inches from knuckle end to knuckle end, 2 1/4 inches wide, and about 3 inches high. Looks and runs nicely behind my Lionel 0-8-0.

All you need now, the girls in the water tank.
You may not be aware but All Nation sells scale sides and also full kits for the Sierra combine and coach.

Nice job! I like the full interior with the stack of baggage on the end, that's really clever.
Ditto to MWB. These kits were/are? showing up in internet auctions and in, all too infrequent, O scale shows. Think these kits originated with Walthers former O scale line, and their (W's) trucks can be found. Have seen photos of simiar cars on other shortlines, one l remember as in Kentucky.

Those were, yes, these were Walthers kits originally and while they do show up on the secondary market they are apparently in some real demand. Fun to build and great for use on that shortline!
Trucks for these, also originally Walthers and the other white metal castings are available through Scale City Designs. There also were full interior parts sets for both cars. A lot of those parts are also still available.
