O27 Gauge Piggyback Trailers and Flatcars with Loads Let’s see them

Hi Lee.  Like your pigs.   Here is a car I found years ago at York.  Looks to be a 3460 with grey trailers.

It is brush painted and looks to have been done a long time ago.

Thanks for sharing I would hang on to it looks liked they used some old Walthers O Scale decals on it  very nice and thanks for the complement

Who make's the decals you are using.

Harold

I replaced the old Lionel tires with the Revell 1/48 tanker wheels and tires which is now Atlantis is selling. I made the axle from square stock styrene the mud flaps are some black plastic I had saved.

Harold.  They are HO 1/87 scale decals the BeMac is from Graphics on Demand and the Pennsylvania i can’t remember the guys name but Mt. Vernon car works is making them now with some other nice ones to me tbe fit just fine.

Here are some Walthers decals I bought to do another B&O.  The $3.00 price gives away their age.  I understand that you can spray them with gloss coat and still use them.  I read that Walthers decals are thin and tear easily when old.

I have a set just like them and I would spray them before I used them I have several Walthers decals but never used them yet

Very cool they look great

I bought a whole case of NKP piggyback cars in 92 to repaint but never did.  Not sure if I want to repaint them now.

Always nice to see your work, Lee! My layout expansion will have a spur and piggyback unloading ramp.

They look great, Lee

Nice work Lee. I've posted this car before but this looks like a good thread to drop it again.

I took the trailer off of this flat and put two Lionel chassis on. The trailer was too tall to clear my upper level so I made it work.

That is a neat job you did, Bob!  I think this is a good place to show your piggyback again.

Harold now is the time there’s plenty of decal options these days compared to back in 1992 dig them out and start customizing them would like to see them.

Had a little trouble reading your post.
