Hello all ...Fred Schorr was an OO gauge advocate late 1930's -early 1960's . In the mid 1950's Schorr imported from Japan ( in very small numbers ) various OO pieces ...one being a Camelback 460...he may also have imported these early Philadelphia and Reading RR passenger cars .
The Camelback is close to the 4mm OO Scale range ...where as the passenger cars ...are a little larger scale ..but mate nicely up with a scratch built PRR American from the mid 1930's .
Please see link for Camelback in action .

Schorr’s imported OO items were the high water mark for American prototype trains as far as well detailed items in that scale are concerned.
