Hello,
I am looking at getting more rolling stock. This is what I was looking at.

Does any one have this type of rolling stock? I have never seen Con-Cor and I was wondering about the quality.

I have a couple of these cars, although I don't have a photo of them to post. The cars are a pretty good rendition of baggage cars built for the Canadian National by National Steel Car, in Hamilton, Ontario. I'm not sure how prototypical they would be for other roads, but they're a good representation of a 70' lightweight baggage car. The body is two pieces, consisting of sides, ends, and floor, and the roof, which is cast in clear plastic, and fits into the carbody. Unpainted side extensions below the roof thus provide window "glass" for the doors, similar to Rivarossi passenger cars. The trucks have metal wheels in plastic sideframes, and couplers are mounted "Talgo-style" on the trucks. Kadee #508 conversion sets will work on this car. All body/ underbody details are cast on. I shaved off the steps and grabirons and replaced them with metal parts and also added some roof and underbody details. The car, as it comes, is a decent model at a reasonable price, and its shorter length makes it a good choice if your curves are fairly sharp.
ops: If a moderator could remove this post that would be great!
