Con-Cor or IHC Passenger Cars

__How about these: **http://walthers.com/exec/search?category=Passenger&scale=H&manu=life-like&item=&keywords=&instock=Q&split=30&Submit=Search**__

They are cheap, have lights, and run OK. Works good on 18" curves. No interiors.

I have a few of them. They work better on small diameter curves better than my AHM or Bachmann Spectrum cars, but are way shy of the details of the Spectrums.

Or the Athearn’s.

Today, IHC does list passenger car interiors in stock, but the list is a lot shorter that it was a couple of months ago.

Heavyweight (only 1 listed; used to be 6 or 7):

Lightweight (1 or 2 missing since I looked the last time):

The problem is matching them to a specific protype (if that is important to you). I had to kitbash the coach to match the MEC interior. The diner and combine interiors would have to be almost a complete rebuild to match my MEC plans.

Here is my Opinion of the Walthers Amfleets and Dome.

The Amfleets track really well and are more accurate than the Walthers Amfleets I am told. However my gripe is that Bachmann makes them so they can track on an 18" radius curve. Not that they look good or realistic doing it, but they can. Because they can they have a really wide coupler spacing so there is alot of unrealistic open space between the ends of the cars. As for the dome it is a nice depiction of the Budd Full domes made for ATSF. However my version came with plastic wheels and I feel they would benifit by the substitution of some metal wheels of some kind. again coupler spacing is a major drawback.
