Blutorse, can you tell me where I can find the Chicago Metra Cab Car and passenger cars? I need 5 passenger cars and 1 cab car, I was at Lombard Hobbies and I saw and E&JE loco, I was like...oooo so that is the RR he was talking about

Well, if I remember correctly...

Metra coach came from The Toy Station in Lake Forest, Illinois (Thanks to stupid new manager, they don't really sell any trains besides LGB).

Metra cab came from Don's Hobbies in Kenosha, Wisconsin (They also had coaches, and corrugated Metra coaches that you put together).

RTA cab came from Hills Hobbies in Park Ridge, Illinois (They had to order it). I also forgot to mention that I bought a Chicago and Northwestern Coach from them.

All of the cars were from Walthers, apart from the RTA one, which is a Kato Model.
