D&RGW Old Time Wood Passenger Cars??

[dwight77]

Hi: I am looking for old time style wooden passenger cars in the D&RGW name. Does anyone have a lead on them, who might have made them, or if they are available in kit form?.....most preferably in wood as opposed to plastic.
Thanks

I don't think anyone makes wooden rolling stock kits anymore. Ready to run has gotten so popular, it is hard to find kits of any kind anymore. Roundhouse/MDC makes old fashioned wooden passenger cars, but they a molded in plastic.

model power had some that looked pretty good. Also, concor, mantua, and MDC made some. I am not sure what is still in production, but you could try ebay or a swap meet.

I have a set of those in plastic that I will not be using...

I have a set of the Model Power D&RGW plastic passenger cars (NIB) that I will not be using on my layout afterall. If you are interested in them ... email me and we can work out some kind of deal.

Labelle is definitely still around.

Also, for wooden kits Ye Old Huff-N-Puff still makes them, too; although I don't believe there are any passenger cars. See

Hope this helps.

I stand corrected, wooden rolling stock is made, hobby shops just don't carry them because most people are looking for r-t-r.
