My green motive power in order of preference follows:    1:  Lionel Classic scale GG1 in Brunswick Green with Cat’s whiskers.  My favorite GG1 paint scheme.                    2:  More Brunswick Green GG1s with Cat’s whiskers but in semi-scale.   From front to rear-Lionel post-war 2332 with faded stripes, Lionel conventional classic 2332 and A1CF434C-EA4A-4A72-8609-5DDF9526980F8A5E2C4E-7134-4E22-85B0-EB8B2C8954CBBADDA49C-307B-47D4-8FFB-46D8F0BE5C2Afinally an early MTH GG1.                                                     3:  Lionel MPC era Southern FM Train Master followed  by a Lionel Trains Inc. Pennsylvania Train Master.

I love these. Have NO need for any more passenger sets, yet every time I see pics like this, my fingers drag me toward a Buy It Now button.

I have to say, that at the same time I am focused on 3rail scale passenger trains, these Williams 027 cars are one of a few beloved trains that will never leave my collection.  I really cannot explain it.  Perhaps the nostslgia of the postwar trains.  Perhaps simplicity and fun.  Maybe these are the "comfort food" of toy trains.  I cannot say for sure.

I agree with you. I cannot envision ever moving to 3RS due to space and budgetary constraints (still have two more weddings and one more to put through college) but even if I did, I'd hang onto some of the PW classics or replicas. I added the 2-pack of WBB's to my grandfather's gray set of these O27s, gave my B&O O27s to my son-in-law with an early TMCC loco, and added (after much searching) Williams NKP Alco FAs and 4-pack of O27 passenger cars.

At some point, I'll have to add these green O27 passenger cars. They look too good not to have on my non-scale layout.
