A general question to the entire group

[NW Modeling List]

Just imagine if you needed all those cars in O Scale like me.  (working on my layout since 1997)  Atlas O make a diecast HL but it is far too heavy.  There are nice brass cars like Precision and Rich Yoder models, but they are pricey.  There are wood kits from the 70's which I have built.  But mostly I have good enough plastic cars that I kit bash or modify.  If I had the skill and the time I'd scratch build them from styrene or wood.

I renumber with appropriate size decals. BTW: there are more accurate models than the Athearn and the Accurail.  Jim Nichols

Gentlemen:

I am still building my N&W coal focused layout.... into year 5...

how does one acquire the vast numbers of coal cars w/ correct but non
repeating numbers... ie buying 500 athern offset coal cars..

I have been purchasing via NWHS the bowser sets and also the Accurail
55ton cars as they become available...

This is still taking yrs to build up a 200-300 car set.

How have those of you who done this over the yrs? ie Jim Brewer's huge
layout as just one quick example.

Thanks
Eric Raitch
