Looking for Small American Coaches.

<kuid2:210518:11746:1> Sierra_Railroad_Coach_6 by bendorsey aprox 30'

Narrow gauge coaches that you could try putting standard gauge bogies on
<kuid2:44700:19968:1> 42 Taltal Coach #1
<kuid2:44700:19969:1> 42 Taltal Coach #2
<kuid:633834:140001> 36NG Small Generic Coach
<kuid:44700:18216> 30 PBR 1 NB
These are around 22-24 ft. I had pretty good luck adding the 36" bogie on to the original 42"

Good hunting.

Edit, this is my 36NG Small Generic Coach with the norris. The Taltal and PBR coaches look the same except the PBR is red. You might want to look for a caboose/combine if she is only going to be hauling a single car.



Edit #2

Ha my own comment jogged my memory.



Pencil42's
<kuid2:124060:10032:1> V & T Caboose No 5 green
<kuid2:124060:10033:1> V & T Caboose No 6 green
<kuid2:124060:10034:1> V & T Caboose No 5 yellow
<kuid2:124060:10035:1> V & T Caboose No 6 yellow

Just about perfect IMO unless someone actually makes the original B&O Coaches. These have benches for the passengers and also handle baggage. These also have the proper roof for the era and if you are looking for something a bit bigger the V&T #9 & 10 caboose comes in a passenger only version.

<kuid2:124060:15035:1> V & T Caboose No 9
<kuid2:124060:15036:1> V & T Caboose No 10



Rather larger than I remember but they also have the arched roof.

Those look great however I need Trainz 12 or TANE to download them and i only got Trainz 2010 and i don't have money, thanks anyway.

Edit: Actually pencil42's cabooses are build 2.4 on the DLS so it should be no issue.

The PBR and Taltal coaches are build 1.3

Edit: FYI the B&O York is on the DLS too.



Might look good stuck on a siding somewhere.

Perfect, but I'll keep the forum open just incase someone finds actual coaches or makes the B&O coaches.

I do have a bobber caboose I can use as the caboose.

Thanks for the suggestions

I already have York he's pretty good but i don't think he'll be on my route because it actually takes place in modern times.

I am downloading the Taltal coaches right now.

I'll be watching too. I've been looking for coaches from the mid 1800's myself for awhile.

Replacing the trucks is more or less a try and see process. Look for ones from older rolling stock with small diameter wheels.

Thanks for helping me out, i would post a picture on the progress but as soon as i loaded trainz to play, it decided to do a data asset update.

Aye.

Good luck on your search.

I decided to spend some time on trying to find some standard gauge trucks for the Taltal/PBR coaches. Almost everything I tried were 33" wheels which didn't work so good.

Then, in more or less desparation, I tried the <kuid2:96914:50420:3> Norris 4-2-0 Pilot Truck



A little odd but not as horrible as most of the other bogies I tried. Tbryson2 has some different pilot trucks that might look better but this works so far as I can tell. No brakes though, arrrrgh!

Still nice.

Yes, they are better looking than a lot of other trucks - often looking too large.

The main problem with the bogies are the wheels are usually too big and clip through the coach, Well I was driving a V&T 2-6-0 when noticed the Tender had 2 bogies each with 4 wheels that are smaller than usual car bogies and here is the result i found.

interesting progress here

all these pix make me want to go and download the Norris right now...

It's fun you can get it form Subpar productions.

Thanks for the inspiration Pudgemountin1522

nice. more freeware is always appreciated.

Your welcome, of course I did them for myself.



Edit: Note that because these sit so low they don't couple visually to standard height link n' pin couplers.

No problem for helping and thanks to you my route's coach collection is completed.



The route is still a WIP.
